Jon, you do have a point. GM may have learned something from the Japanese.
Take a solid, well proven performance engine, tune it for the job required,
put it in a sturdy frame with weather protection and luggage. BTW, I am
speaking of a motorcycle. Use a lot of parts you already use. Any upgrades
will trickle down from the knee draggers. Keep the bike in production for
15+ years with few changes. It may not be the fastest, or most comfortable
or most technically up to date, but it does so many things so well it still
is a viable option...priced thousands less. The idea is respectable
performance at a bargain price.
Does this sound like the truck mentioned?
Oh yeah. The bike I referred to is the Kawasaki Concours, 1986 to present.
Only two generations.
Both generations are like the Dakota's first two. basically the same vehicle
but only suspension and instrment changes.
Both my bike and Dakota are Gen IIs, the best of both!
Boy, that was a long way to post a top ten way to stir up the list. (GRIN)
But there was a valid point.
Man, I'm going to hear it now....
