Kudos to a company that honors their past and takes a new look at the context of their entire body of work*

I'll bet your referring to the FC and it would be hard to argue. Definitely form following function, the engine is located below and just behind the driver making it a mid engine configuration placing the inline torque beast over front and back tires. The clearances are very good, top speed not so much, visibility great.

I look at the bloated excuses for "SUVs" nowadays and still wonder if there's a market for something retro that's actually affordable by mortals, a bit narrower track, without GPS or Buffy's special bedliner for hauling peat moss from the garden or nanny-state artificial intelligence to simply run it - and that can be worked on in the driveway w/o having to disassemble half the vehicle on the way into replacing a headlamp or changing plugs.

THAT would be one way to honor a body of work.
