Well for some it actually looked decent. If you don't like retro, yes, it looked like crap.
I think the bigger problem was the $43,000 price tag..............plus it launched with the 5.3L V8 with under 300 HP. So big dough and no show.
It was never going to be a big seller. It was basically hand built in the Craft Center in Lansing, which is now closed.
Originally it had a tight budget, built on the Trailblazer frame to save costs. The original plan was a low $30s sport truck. It went wayyyyy over budget and the sticker price had to go up.
Might have done "ok" with the lower price......................maybe.................. ....but as we know some people think it looked like crap.
