That short bed doesn't look too useful. I'm waiting for the long bed version.

If it just wasn't that horrible paint scheme - I get what they were trying to do... but it just doesn't work.

F it - get the extra insurance and have some fun.

This is a high performance utility vehicle..( HPUV ).its meant to haul, groceries, mulch, flowers, sod, etc... Looks like it is well done..
You have to get past the idea that's its suppose to be a modified high performance sports car... IM sure this ( high performance sports car ) was not the intention.
I'd rather pull up to Home deport in this to get a dozen bags of fertilizer. Of course its not a long bed.. but its pretty cool from where I sit.

For a one time rental, just to say I rented something like that, why not.

It's definitely different. How's the new vette treating you?

This is awesome. I'd drive the hell out of it with a better paint scheme.

Not my cup of tea, for sure, but I have to admit that I've seen far worse......

If I am going to LOWES to pick up
mulch I want a full size truck. I don't
want to make 2 or 3 or 4 trips.
It's cute but that's about it and NO I would
not rent this truck (I don't have to).

You realize this "truck" is in Germany, right??

Real pick up trucks have 8' beds so sheets of plywood or drywall can easily be carried. I would go for a 10' bed if anybody made one, given the number of times I have had to haul lumber longer than 8'. That C5 has only about enough bed space for groceries.
