Now if only the makers would get some decent styling, performance and start putting some creature comforts into their designs along the lines of these ..... Then theyd be onto a winner .. Bloody manufacturers need to go back to the future  ;D ;D

Gawd i owned one off those a long time ago

German company, Russian designer apparently.
Designed to be a flat pack vehicle (Ikea hasn't done these yet) Can fit 5 in a shipping container.

I missed that while marvelling over the 'unique' design.  Maybe there's a flat pack field gun that tows on a 50mm hitch?
I do wonder if I could make something at work with unistrut and packing crates that will look better :)

Toyota 4x4xMore  at Salisbury (then moved to Moorooka) had one as their own company vehicle, looked Fugly that's for sure.

Pitched to grab all the Fortuner buyers off Toyota.
There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.
