Genuinely never heard of this car brand before in my life, but I guess it's nostalgic enough that they think there's a place in a massively saturated car market that will make them enough money back that they can advertise during the Super Bowl and every other ad break on ESPN?

Honestly, I had to Google to refresh my own memory (I was 13 when these stopped production) but with the first picture it was a quick "oh yeah, NOW I remember"
It was basically the forerunner to the modern SUV. I don't recall them being a particularly big deal or anything but I do remember seeing a few around (I was in an awfull small town at the time). I remember them being subjectable to pretty rough conditions, off-roading kinda stuff, and for some reason the few I remember all seemed to have some visible rust (anecdotal obviously).
