8. I have to laugh every time I see one.

Apart from the many reported design, mechanical, quality control, usability, insurance and reliability issues, the things are just butt ugly. The stainless steel body panels appear wavy and uneven, the finish always looks like it needs a good scrubbing. It's totally useless as a truck; the bed is tiny and I've never seen anyone actually hauling or towing anything with them. And Youtube is full of videos showing CTs getting stuck in off-road situations a Subaru could handle with no problem. Can't understand why anyone would pay $100K for one.
