I've only seen one Santa Cruz running our streets, it looks like an economy sedan without a truck lid. I didn't think much of it, frankly. It stays parked outside a shop that installs remote starting units and tinting windows.

The local Mitsubishi dealer has a Maverick "pickup" parked on it's lot, it kinda looks like a pickup, anyway, no matter how downsized it is. I haven't stopped to look at it, but I did drive down the road the other day and looked DOWN into one, from the cab of my Frontier!!! bone-stock mid-sized pickup. It didn't look like it had much ground clearance, which is a big deal for me, as I travel a fair amount of gravel roads now and then. Frankly, it looked too small for my fat azz.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
