Zuke frames are also boxed, not open c channel and that makes a much stronger frame than what is typicalyused.
The Zuke is on its way out.  Getting a vehicle that will behave and be supported by the dealer.

Re-read the PR.  It says 2005.  That's exactly 1 year away, being 2004s are hitting the floor now.

Whatever ASMC is going to release, it is already designed and being finalized now.  I would suspect they have test trucks now for road and crash tests.

Hmmmm, ERIC!!!!  You know, a little sweet talk to Brea and maybe you could stir up a "spy" pic?  You know, the type where the auto is covered in silly black vinyl cladding to hide the looks.

Otherwise, don't get yer knickers in a twist.  I doubt it will be anything than a larger, faster, IFS zook.  I would be highly surprised if they built a Katana, let alone a Rubicon killer.


Yeah you're right, dude... I should have known that.

Are there 2 door KIAs and RAV4s in the States?  I know that Toyota Canada put out the 2 door RAV4 for a while here in the late 90's but they stopped real quick cause no one was buying them.
