IMHO, The falcon and courier are fugly. The BT-50 stands a chance, particularly if it came with those small diesels. It's what the tacoma used to be before it lost it's way and became a tundra wannabe. BT-50 Stlying is almost as nice as the oversized tacoma and torque and mileage would beat that competition into a stupor. I had an 05 Tacoma for a year or so and the best way I can describe it is "sheetmetal masculinity" Size for the sake of size, there is so much fluff between the fenders/grills/etc and the actual mechanicals that it could easily be a foot shorter and narrower, they just wanted the car to look macho. And you paid at the pump, with the same configuration, it got 2mpg less than my 1999 Tacoma did. It would be easy for someone to sweep in with a quality small truck and re-take that soon to erupt market (again IMHO).
