Not bad aside from the ugly accessories. The current generation US Ranger has been out since 1993

I truly believe had GM had all of it's Opel cars and what not over here they may not be in as "dire" as a situation as they are now.
Saturn should have been "Opel" all along, hell I don't know why they didn't just call it Opel instead of making up a new name. A European brand would probably sell good over here as much as people seem to fantasize over anything from outside the US.

I don't like it. It looks like several different trucks slapped together with some leftover car pieces thrown in. It has no uniform look to it. Big thumbs down on this.
FWIW, I really like the styling of the current Ranger AND I think the new F-150 is a great looking truck.

I wouldn't buy one strictly because of that. Trucks are supposed to be made in America. I had an old 92 Explorer that was beat to hell but it just kept going. I tried to kill it and couldn't. I can think of 3 other people I know personally who have had Rangers with the same experience.
