    In America the segment for small pickups is larger than you think and cars are overpriced right now which makes a brand new car you can import for less than 15k mind-boggling. Additionally, the barebones nature of the car is appealing for its low-tech nature. Add that it’s a Toyota, known for reliability.

    Maybe you don’t see it as a desirable car because it isn’t to your tastes, but the world doesn’t revolve around you.

      Cars are very cheap these days. It’s silly that people keep saying this. You can find brand new cars with Android Auto and are perfectly safe for 16k. If you want nicer just about every economy brand will sell you a small sedan for 24k that will out perform anything under 40k from 10 years ago.

      As for a 2 seater pickup with low tow capacity, I really doubt the demand is as high as you think here in the states.
