Ranting about (and predicting) Big Boy Boxing (Warning: This will be MASSIVE)

Big Boy Boxing is a Punch Out styled indie boss rush game slated for release in mid 2024 with a cartoony style and bosses gimmicks inspired by Cuphead. It's being developed by fledgling studio, Soupmasters, and I am fucking OBSESSED with it!.

The predicting part comes from the official presskit which shows a bunch of boxers not currently sorted into tournaments.

For context, the devs are aiming for 24 unique opponents, we currently know about 6 tournaments and their champions, but given none of them have any final boss energy, I'm going to assume there will be 8 tournaments with 3 opponents each.

Just so we're all on the same page here's a link to the above mentioned presskit, here you can see images for all the mentioned characters:

Freezy's tournament: Freezy Boy is the first champ and this games Glass Joe, with the twist being he can hulk out. I think that makes it pretty clear that the fighters before him will be quite feeble. This makes me think of the Retired Joker and DJ Yamon. Neither a very tough looking and would make good introductions to a few mechanics.

Wild Dude's tournament: We already know about Mr. Adyltmen and of course, Wild Dude, given the latter's love of rats I'm betting Grizzly Rat is gonna be the third character.

Toxic Love's tournament: It turns out we know all three opponents, Coach Skank, Trigger Happy (thought she's been redesigned as a little girl with a giant mallet) and Toxic Love, herself.

Jim Chad's tournament: In addition to Titanic 5000, whose redesign has made him much less intimidating, and Jim Chad we'll see a spiky haired, currently unseen character, whose shadow can be seen with Titanic 5000's and Jim's in a cutscene snippet in the most recent trailer on the Soupmasters channel.

Bruno's tournament: The only guess I have for this one is Master Dong, his zenned out design gives him a tuned-into-nature quality, which fits Bruno's jungle theme.

Dr. Brawn's tournament: Brawn is a stereotypical supervillain, Super Roger is a stereotypical superhero, nuff said. Also there's Chef Kembo, recently reinvented on the official discord as a smaller hunchback (possible lab asisstent archetype) who drinks gasoline and goes by Chef Diesel.

Here's the discord link:

Others: D' Bulldozah and Grand Adultman are quite interesting both could be in the same tournament, but I highly doubt it. I think what's most likely is that Grand Adultman will be in the final tournament (though not the champ) and D'Bulldozah will be in the non-final, non-revealed tournament

That's all I've got for now, hope I got at least someone interested in this serious contender for 2024's GOTY.

Renault Avantime 3.0 V6 24V Privilège

The Avantime was designed and built by Matra, then affiliated closely with Renault and known not just for building vehicles like the Matra Bagheera and Rancho, but also for their defence arm that builds a range of missiles and bombs. The styling was handled by Renault design boss Patrick Le Quément, whose fingerprints are also on cars like the Twingo, Kangoo, and Vel Satis.

It was a design intended to shock passers-by. At the time, project manager Theirry Metroz said that "we wanted someone walking around the car to be continually astonished. When you look at the front, you can't imagine what the back will be like, and vice versa." Which is a very bold goal to set for a vehicle, though the company seems to have executed it well here. The company wanted buyers, who were migrating to the German luxury brands in worrying numbers, to take a fresh new look at Renault, and then hopefully decide that it was a brand they wanted in their driveways.

Matra designed the Avantime to sit on the platform of the Espace, a much more conventionally styled minivan. Cutting the rear doors (and significant length) from the Espace meant that a B-pillar wasn't needed, allowing a glass space mostly unencumbered by structure with the windows rolled down. It's the same elegant look you'd see in something like the current Mercedes-Benz E and S-Class coupes. The roof was a full panoramic glass piece, with a large opening front panel. It sat just four passengers, but the two in the rear enjoyed seats clad in leather from the same company used by Rolls-Royce, and the rear seats were higher than the fronts to allow better visibility from the theatre-style arrangement. The side windows would lower automatically, allowing easier access to those seats through the long front doors and the opening where the window would normally reside.Renault offered three engines in the Avantime, two gas and one diesel. This comes with the larger of the gas engines, a 3.0L V6 (badged 3.0 but really 2.9) that produced 204 hp. While a five-speed automatic transmission was offered, this one came with the six-speed stick, a box much more in tune with the car's grand touring ambitions.

5 Sleeper Cars You Never Considered

5. 1997-1999 W210 Mercedes Benz E300 TurboDiesel

We’re starting this list with a lesser known beast, at least in North America. From 1997-1999, Mercedes Benz produced the W210 E300 Turbo Diesel, featuring the OM606, inline 6, turbocharged diesel making a whopping 170 horsepower and 240lb-ft of torque. Granted, it may not be much of a sleeper in stock form, but the W210 E300TD hides a monster underneath it’s hood. Daimler’s OM606 in turbocharged form is known to reliably make big power, and is colloquially known as the diesel 2JZ. Simple mods, like a piggy back ECU, can easily unlock up to an extra 100 horsepower and torque; while more impressive, big turbo builds are known to get into the 600 club with ease. 

While more common in Europe and Asia, a sedan variant of the W210 E300TD was brought to the US, and can be found anywhere from $6,000-$10,000 in 2023 depending on mileage and condition. Values are starting to climb as the aftermarket community is realizing the tuning potential of these robust engines, so I’d keep a keen eye out for a good deal on one before they become subject to the drift tax. 

4. 2009 Chevrolet HHR SS Panel Van

Made for just a single model year, the Chevrolet HHR SS Panel Van is on the short-list for becoming a collector car. Largely a product of the age of the nostalgic, classic recreations of the early 2000s, GM found it fitting to add the proven Cobalt SS powertrain to the HHR platform. Featuring the familiar, 260 horsepower, 260lb-ft torque, Ecotech Turbo-4 and 5-speed manual, the HHR SS was a sleeper right out of the box. Factoring in the significant aftermarket support, the practicality of a panel van was the pièce de résistance of the HHR platform. 

With the HHR SS Panel being sold only in 2009 and in extremely low quantities, it’s a challenge to find any for sale. Don’t be surprised to see figures over $20,000 for a decently maintained example. 

3. 2019 Buick Regal GS 

While not the “sportiest” option on this list, the 2019 Buick Regal GS offered a middle-of-the-road option in the mid-size sport sedan class. With a 3.6 liter V6 making 310 horsepower and 282lb-ft of torque mated up to a 9-speed automatic driving all four wheels, it wasn’t exactly a slouch. From the factory, it offers 5.4 second 0-60 sprints, making it a solid stoplight racer. Its Buick nameplate, poor marketing, and lack of aftermarket support led to few sales, and even fewer knowing the significance of the “GS” badging. This makes for an ideal, under-the-radar sleeper. 

Being a newer model on this list, it’s not uncommon to find a Regal GS selling for over $30k, especially with lower mileage. 

2. 2017-2020 Lincoln MKZ 3.0TT AWD/2017-2019 Ford Fusion Sport 

The Lincoln MKZ 3.0TT AWD and Ford Fusion Sport share a spotlight on this list, just as they shared most everything else. Built on the same platform, there are only a few key differences between the models. The 2017-2019 Fusion Sport was largely a parts bin special, featuring brakes from the Ford Edge Sport, adaptive suspension from the shared MKZ, and Ford’s widely used 2.7 twin turbo, Ecoboost V6 driving all four wheels. This produced an impressive 325 horsepower and 380lb-ft of torque, competent handling, and total sleeper status as the general public would struggle to find the difference between the Sport, and the Fusions on their local rental car lot. The MKZ took it a step further, though, using Ford’s 3.0 twin turbo V6, cranking out 400 horsepower and matching torque from the factory. Similar to the Fusion, the MKZ 3.0TT AWD is hard to separate from its hybrid and lower trims commonly used for Uber Black, but it’s proven itself to be a straight line beast. From the factory, the MKZ would hit 60mph in 5 seconds flat, and on to a 13.5 second quarter mile. With just a few supporting mods and a tune, these cars make enough power to shave a full second off of those times with ease, provided you don’t snap an axle on the launch. If you’re a glutton for torque steer, the engineers at Ford thought it’d be fun to offer the same, 3 liter, twin turbo, V6 powertrain with front wheel drive, albeit with 50 less horsepower. 

Being produced until 2020, the MKZ is another newer entry on the list, and prices tend to range from $25k-40k depending on mileage, trim, and options. While offering fewer luxury features, the Fusion Sport is typically more budget friendly, ranging from $18k-30k.

1. 2007 Mercedes Benz R63 AMG

Yes, Mercedes Benz earned two spots on this list, but I assure you, this is well deserved. While it’s up for debate as to what car segment the R-Class belongs to, it’s commonly referred to as a minivan. Having three rows of seats, a slightly elevated driving position, and being optimized for luxurious family cruises, it’s hard to imagine how this made it to the number one spot on our list. Enter the R63 AMG. The mad scientists in Stuttgart crammed the iconic 6.2 liter, naturally aspirated, M156 V8 under the hood. It made 503 horsepower and 465lb-ft of torque, driving all four wheels via the AMG Speedshift 7G-Tronic 7 speed transmission. Despite being a heavyweight at over 5000lbs, the R63 rocketed you and your 5 additional passengers and their luggage to 60mph in around 4.5 seconds. Aside from the AMG badging, the R63 is as inconspicuous as they come, that is until the roar of the V8 comes screaming past you at over 7,000RPM. 

Finding an R63 is tricky. With only 200 made for one model year, they tend to sell between $30-$50k according to the listings on Bring a Trailer.

From Page to Screen: The Irreverent, Intergalactic Evolution of The Guardians of the Galaxy

The Comic Book Origins

The Guardians of the Galaxy first appeared in Marvel Super-Heroes #18, published in 1969. Created by Arnold Drake and Gene Colan, the original team featured an entirely different lineup, including Vance Astro, Martinex T'Naga, Yondu Udonta, and Charlie-27. Set in the 31st century, this group of heroes fought to protect the universe from various threats.

Over the years, the Guardians underwent numerous changes in both lineups and storylines. It wasn't until 2008 when writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning introduced a new team that closely resembles the one we know today. Comprised of Peter Quill (Star-Lord), Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot, this new lineup was defined by their humor, individuality, and offbeat approach to superheroics.

An Unexpected Cinematic Adventure

In 2014, Marvel Studios and director James Gunn brought the Guardians to life on the silver screen, with Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel starring in the respective roles. The film was a risky move, as the Guardians were relatively obscure characters within the Marvel Universe. However, the risk paid off, as the movie grossed over $770 million at the worldwide box office and received widespread acclaim for its wit, charm, and visual spectacle.

The Rise of an Unlikely Franchise

The success of the first film led to a sequel, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," released in 2017. With the return of the original cast and James Gunn at the helm, the sequel delved deeper into the characters' relationships and explored the concept of family. While the film received mixed reviews, it still achieved box-office success, earning over $860 million worldwide.

The Guardians' popularity also led to their inclusion in the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the characters playing significant roles in "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018) and "Avengers: Endgame" (2019).

Guardians of the Galaxy: Beyond the Movies

The Guardians' influence has stretched beyond films, with the characters appearing in animated TV series, video games, and theme park attractions. Their catchy mixtape soundtracks, inspired by the films, have also garnered a massive following, with songs from the '60s, '70s, and '80s introducing younger generations to classic tunes.

The Legacy Continues

The Guardians' story is far from over, with a third film, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," is in theaters soon. James Gunn is set to return as director, and fans eagerly await the next chapter in the team's intergalactic adventures.

The Guardians of the Galaxy have defied the odds, transforming from a relatively unknown comic book property to a beloved franchise. Their combination of humor, heart, and cosmic action has resonated with audiences worldwide, and their journey is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of the underdog.

introducing the Vixen 21 TD, possibly the most ahead of its time vehicle i have never heard of until just now. with a flat roof and floor, it managed a drag coefficient of 0.3, just sneaking in front of a 993 porsche and an A80 supra, which is insane when you consider the first gen prius has a coefficient of 0.31 

you see that BMW badge on the front? thats a crappy ebay addition taped to the front, it has a BMW M21 turbo diesel motor in it (or a GM 3.8L V6) attached to either a manual 4 speed from a renault 5 or one of two auto boxes. 

while its not massive for an RV, standing at just under 2m tall (165 interior height!?), 2.15m wide and 10m long, it made up for lack of space with the insane fact that it was designed by the same guy who did the delorean. he weirdly focused on the handling and performance of the RV, tuning the suspension for comfort and performance in equal parts, using an air ride system that you see these days on luxury coaches.

it also had a 100mph claimed top speed, a kerb weight of 2.3 tons, and had a claimed fuel efficiency of 30 MPG. 

If I could get my hands on one of these things, I’d probably strip out all of the interior motor home parts, leaving the second row of seats where they are, slap some extra sound deadening on the body, and maybe try to convert the rear to have barn doors, making the ultimate work van/roadtrip machine. i can also see it benefitting from a nice set of turbo fan wheels on the front and colour matched smoothies on the rear. maybe modernize a few features, like add some modern ECU and wiring, a set of projector headlights and reversing camera etc.

id say modernize the engine but im not sure it needs it tbh. 

super cool van.

Mitsubishi recently unveiled a new generation of the Triton, their midsize truck sold overseas. While it won't come to America, the Triton's back-to-basics formula reminds us of how trucks used to be. Overview of the All-New Mitsubishi Triton The Triton enters a new generation for 2023, bringing significant updates: New exterior styling with a rugged, squared-off design Revised interior with increased technology and functionality Improved chassis with gains in rigidity and suspension upgrades New diesel engine options with power bumps and increased torque Available dual cab, extended cab, and single cab configurations This overhaul modernizes the Triton while staying true to its workhorse truck roots. Sadly it won't reach the US market where demand for old-school trucks has dwindled. Turbodiesel Power and Manual Transmission Options In an era where gas V6 engines reign supreme in America, Mitsubishi sticks with small diesel power in the Triton. Two turbodiesel options are offered: 2.4L 4-Cylinder Available in three states of tune: 148 horsepower/243 lb-ft torque (base) 181 horsepower/317 lb-ft torque (mid-level) 201 horsepower/347 lb-ft torque (top level) Six-Speed Manual Transmission Lower two engines can be paired with a six-speed manual Adds driver engagement over the automatic Power and Efficiency Strong torque at low RPMs benefits work tasks Turbodiesels provide greater fuel efficiency The Triton brings a welcome diesel engine choice with available manual for maximum control. A Proven Old-School Powertrain Formula With its optional manual transmission and stout turbodiesel lineup, the Triton sticks to a proven truck formula even as the industry moves on. Rugged Body-on-Frame Construction In an era where car-like unibody designs dominate, Mitsubishi retains a rugged body-on-frame setup for the Triton: Fully-boxed ladder frame Significantly more rigid than previous Triton generations Provides durable foundation for work tasks Leaf Spring Rear Suspension Tough leaf springs support the rear end Tuned for capability over comfort Unequal Length Front Control Arms Unequal control arms manage front suspension Provide better steering feel than basic straight arms The body-on-frame construction and leaf spring rear end offer truck fundamentals over refinement. This maximizes ruggedness. Prioritizing Ruggedness and Utility With its focus on a rigid ladder frame and heavy-duty suspension, the Triton cuts no corners when it comes to durability and capability. Two-Speed Transfer Case Enhances 4WD Abilities One area where Mitsubishi packed the new Triton with hardware is its four-wheel drive system. It has serious off-road equipment: Easy Shifting Between 2WD and 4WD User-friendly 2H (2WD) and 4H (4WD) modes Allows shifting on the fly based on conditions Two-Speed Transfer Case Provides low range gearing for severe off-roading Maximizes traction in mud, rocks, and inclines Center Limited Slip Differential Sends 60% of torque rearward and 40% front Enhances grip both on- and off-road With available four-wheel drive, a dual-range transfer case, rear bias, and limited slip differential, the Triton has legit overlanding credentials. Serious Hardware for Conquering the Rough Stuff Between the two-speed transfer case, rear bias, and differential lock functionality, Triton buyers can take on serious off-road terrain. New Terrain Modes Enhance Off-Road Prowess Expanding on its rugged four-wheel drive hardware, the new Mitsubishi Triton augments off-road prowess with expanded terrain modes: Gravel Mode Allows additional wheel slip to power through loose gravel Ideal for driving on unpaved backroads Mud/Snow Mode Optimizes throttle and traction systems for slick surfaces Great for sloppy trails or snowy roads Sand Mode Prevents build up of sand inside wheel housings

Critical for desert and beach driving Rock Mode Engineered to keep momentum over rocky obstacles Maximizes low-speed rock crawling capabilities The Triton's modes fine tune its four-wheel drive abilities for specific off-road tasks. Expanded Terrain Modes Let Owners customize 4WD Performance Whether tackling mud, snow, gravel or rocks, the Triton's driving modes ensure owners get the most from its four-wheel drive system across conditions. Updated Interior Stays True to Truck Roots Mitsubishi gave the Triton a much-needed interior makeover. But despite increased modernization, the cabin retains a functional truck focus: Simplistic Layout Straightforward three-dial climate control unit Easy to use buttons and knobs Touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 8-inch center touchscreen is a welcome upgrade But still flanked by plenty of physical buttons Glove-Friendly Controls Large buttons designed for easy operation with gloves Important for working truck drivers The balance of increased technology and simple ergonomics caters well to Triton owners who rely on their truck for work. An Interior Geared Around Usability The interior upgrades bring welcomed modernization but the simplistic focus on controls remains ideal for a workhorse pickup truck. Single, Extended, and Crew Cab Choices Unlike the American midsize truck market which has condensed to solely crew cab models, Mitsubishi still offers the Triton in three cab configurations: Single Cab Two door, two passenger capacity Ideal for commercial/fleet use Extended "Club" Cab Rear doors but small back seat Good compromise of space and value Crew Cab Full four door cab with spacious rear seat Chosen by majority of retail consumers This range of cab options allows buyers to choose based on needs and budget. Families and private owners gravitate toward the Crew Cab. Cab Flexibility Caters to Different Buyers With three cab styles on offer, Triton shoppers can find the ideal pickup to suit their specific needs whether work, play, or both. Rugged, Truck-Based Exterior Design Mitsubishi gave the Triton a exterior makeover fitting its heavy-duty capabilities. The square-edged design looks right at home on worksites: Prominent front grille with large MITSUBISHI lettering Flared fenders emphasize ready stance Minimal styling elements for simplified repairs Steel bumpers designed for accessory integration LED headlights and fog lights for visibility The Triton's styling visually communicates its rugged, back-to-basics truck virtues. Form follows function. A No-Frills Exterior Matching the Triton's Workhorse Focus With its boxy proportions and steel bumpers, the Triton's exterior styling visually reinforces this truck's role as a hard working tool first and foremost. FAQs Will the Triton be sold in the United States? Currently Mitsubishi only plans to sell it overseas in Asian and Oceania markets. What engine options are available? There are three diesel options ranging from 148 to 201 horsepower. Two can be paired with a manual. Does it come in different cab configurations? Yes, the Triton is offered as a single, extended, and crew cab truck. What is the towing and payload capacity? Max towing is up to 6000 lbs. Payload is around 1200 lbs for most configurations. Does it have modern tech features? Yes, safety features and an 8-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration are available. These questions and answers cover the key facts and highlights of Mitsubishi's back-to-basics Triton pickup. Old-School Trucks Like the Triton are Rare Today It's a rarity these days to find a new truck with the back-to-basics approach of the Mitsubishi Triton. Between the engine, transmission, frame, suspension and configurations, it harkens back to trucks of the 1990s and earlier. The midsize truck segment in America once offered much more variability:

Four cylinder and V6 gas engines Manual and automatic transmission options Two- and four-wheel drive varieties Single, extended, and crew cabs But buyer tastes shifted decisively toward crew cab trucks with V6 power, automatics, and full four-wheel drive. The Triton proves there is still global demand for the versatility and ruggedness of this old-school pickup formula. Budget-focused buyers and commercial fleets still appreciate the simplicity. Global Markets Still Appreciate Old-School Trucks For American buyers, the Triton may seem outdated compared to current midsize offerings. But globally, there remains appeal in its back-to-basics truck virtues. Few Other Modern Trucks Stick to Old-School Tactics Part of what makes the Triton unique today is how few automakers still build brand new trucks with its classic rugged approach. The industry has modernized rapidly. Toyota Tacoma One of the last small trucks with an optional manual transmission But only offers crew cab and V6 engine options now Nissan Frontier Long-running old-school competitor to the Triton Discontinued extended cab and manual transmission models Ford Ranger Returned to the US with a focus on modern crew cab models No extended cab or diesel options Visit a Mitsubishi overseas dealer for a new Triton if you want a back-to-basics truck experience like those from over 20 years ago. The industry has moved on. Hard to Find Other New Trucks With Old-School Roots Automakers have updated trucks to align with modern buyer expectations. The Triton stands out as a new truck that retains the rugged old formula. Could Mitsubishi Bring a Triton-Like Truck to America? This leads to an interesting question - could Mitsubishi find success bringing the Triton or a similar old-school truck back to the United States? There are arguments on both sides: Cases For: Nostalgia factor from former truck owners Commercial buyers may appreciate simpler, cheaper workhorse Outdoorsmen looking for serious off-road rig Cases Against: Outdated cab comfort and tech vs competitors No V6 gas engine option Diesel and manual unpopular with mainstream truck buyers Possible Outcome A niche buyer audience could exist. But sales volume likely wouldn't justify federalizing it. Viable Segment But Low Volume Prospects Mitsubishi could resonate with a subset of American buyers thanks to the Triton's rugged purity. But sales almost certainly wouldn't measure up to the Detroit trucks. Mitsubishi is Evaluating the US Truck Market While the Triton itself seems like an outside shot for America, recent reports indicate Mitsubishi is evaluating introducing a truck model in the US market: Company has hinted about US truck ambitions on and off for years Recent product roadmap highlighted an electric pickup possibility Mitsubishi still has truck engineering capabilities from the Triton Return to lucrative US truck segment would aid brand's weak positioning While the Triton itself probably can't cut it, a modernized and electrified truck tailored for the US could give Mitsubishi a fighter's chance. The Right Competitive Truck Could Aid Brand's Fortunes in America A properly equipped and targeted modern truck could help improve Mitsubishi's faded US brand image. But it would need to be reimagined from the Triton. The Triton Marks a Fork in Global Pickup Philosophy The very existence of the new Triton points to a fork in pickup truck engineering ideology between markets. America and Asia clearly see trucks differently now. North America - Bigger, Pricier, Crew Cabs Dominate Huge acceleration in crew cab sales V6 gas engines over four cylinders Focus on family/personal use over commercial Asia/Oceania - Smaller, Cheaper, More Versatility Commercial fleets still key buyer Gas mileage and value priorities More cab and drivetrain configurations

Each region tailors trucks to dominant needs. For Americans, trucks are now primarily lifestyle family vehicles. Elsewhere, rugged workhorses still prevail. Regional Needs Dictate Truck Requirements The contrast between the Triton and Detroit's modern crew cab pickups underscores how differently various markets use trucks in 2022 and beyond. #Wiack #Car #CarInsurance #CarRental #CarPrice #AutoLoans

Between the engine, transmission, frame, suspension and configurations, it harkens back to trucks of the 1990s and earlier. The midsize truck segment in America once offered much more variability:

Four cylinder and V6 gas engines Manual and automatic transmission options Two- and four-wheel drive varieties Single, extended, and crew cabs But buyer tastes shifted decisively toward crew cab trucks with V6 power, automatics, and full four-wheel drive. The Triton proves there is still global demand for the versatility and ruggedness of this old-school pickup formula. Budget-focused buyers and commercial fleets still appreciate the simplicity. Global Markets Still Appreciate Old-School Trucks For American buyers, the Triton may seem outdated compared to current midsize offerings. But globally, there remains appeal in its back-to-basics truck virtues. Few Other Modern Trucks Stick to Old-School Tactics Part of what makes the Triton unique today is how few automakers still build brand new trucks with its classic rugged approach. The industry has modernized rapidly. Toyota Tacoma One of the last small trucks with an optional manual transmission But only offers crew cab and V6 engine options now Nissan Frontier Long-running old-school competitor to the Triton Discontinued extended cab and manual transmission models Ford Ranger Returned to the US with a focus on modern crew cab models No extended cab or diesel options Visit a Mitsubishi overseas dealer for a new Triton if you want a back-to-basics truck experience like those from over 20 years ago. The industry has moved on. Hard to Find Other New Trucks With Old-School Roots Automakers have updated trucks to align with modern buyer expectations. The Triton stands out as a new truck that retains the rugged old formula. Could Mitsubishi Bring a Triton-Like Truck to America?

There are arguments on both sides: Cases For: Nostalgia factor from former truck owners Commercial buyers may appreciate simpler, cheaper workhorse Outdoorsmen looking for serious off-road rig Cases Against: Outdated cab comfort and tech vs competitors No V6 gas engine option Diesel and manual unpopular with mainstream truck buyers Possible Outcome A niche buyer audience could exist. But sales volume likely wouldn't justify federalizing it. Viable Segment But Low Volume Prospects Mitsubishi could resonate with a subset of American buyers thanks to the Triton's rugged purity. But sales almost certainly wouldn't measure up to the Detroit trucks. Mitsubishi is Evaluating the US Truck Market While the Triton itself seems like an outside shot for America, recent reports indicate Mitsubishi is evaluating introducing a truck model in the US market: Company has hinted about US truck ambitions on and off for years Recent product roadmap highlighted an electric pickup possibility Mitsubishi still has truck engineering capabilities from the Triton Return to lucrative US truck segment would aid brand's weak positioning While the Triton itself probably can't cut it, a modernized and electrified truck tailored for the US could give Mitsubishi a fighter's chance. The Right Competitive Truck Could Aid Brand's Fortunes in America A properly equipped and targeted modern truck could help improve Mitsubishi's faded US brand image. But it would need to be reimagined from the Triton. The Triton Marks a Fork in Global Pickup Philosophy The very existence of the new Triton points to a fork in pickup truck engineering ideology between markets. America and Asia clearly see trucks differently now. North America - Bigger, Pricier, Crew Cabs Dominate Huge acceleration in crew cab sales V6 gas engines over four cylinders Focus on family/personal use over commercial Asia/Oceania - Smaller, Cheaper, More Versatility Commercial fleets still key buyer Gas mileage and value priorities More cab and drivetrain configurations

Each region tailors trucks to dominant needs. For Americans, trucks are now primarily lifestyle family vehicles. Elsewhere, rugged workhorses still prevail. Regional Needs Dictate Truck Requirements The contrast between the Triton and Detroit's modern crew cab pickups underscores how differently various markets use trucks in 2022 and beyond. #Wiack #Car #CarInsurance #CarRental #CarPrice #AutoLoans
