was a Chevy pickup. It didn't have a heater. It didn't have a radio. It had a 3-on-the-tree transmission. Who would buy that today?
Who? The same people who bought it then. It was a work truck. A utility vehicle that put everything aside except the utility part. It had a six-foot long box on the back you could carry stuff in. You could load it with lumber, concrete blocks, or trash to take to the dump. You could buy it for yourself to use or as a farm truck for your farm hands to use.
It was a utility vehicle. We don't make those any longer. We don't. Others do. They're some of the most popular vehicles on the planet, everywhere but in the USA. They're sold by the tens of thousands everywhere in the world but here. In fact, you can't buy one here. They're illegal to sell in the USA. Not safe enough. Not environmentally friendly enough. Not expensive enough for US makers to produce profitably.
They're some of the most popular vehicles anywhere, except here in the USA. We don't want them. We won't allow you to own one. We hate them. They don't make enough money, see.
Everywhere else, though, you can buy one. They're cheap. They're functional. They're great for hauling stuff from one place to another, along with a couple of workers to do something with that stuff.
We don't sell those in the USA. Don't mention them. Don't show pictures of them with the $12,000 price they sell for everywhere else. You don't' want one, see, and you can't have one if you do want one. Trust us. You want something better, with amenities and tons of safety features. They'll only cost you about $30,000, at a minimum. Low monthly payments.
But while you're here, let us show you what you really want. See that huge pickup with the 4.5 foot bed. It has four doors and seats five. It's got a touch screen and will play your tunes from your cell phone automatically. if you need to haul stuff, hang a big trailer off the back. it can handle that just fine and go 0-60 in 6 seconds. That's what you want. It starts at just $67,500. Don't you want that one?
