Weigert: down YOUR B roads? HA, that thing would have one tyre in each VERGE. and, yes, that's the US equivalent OF a hot hatch, and a SMALL one at that! you're lucky to fit 5 people in there, let alone haul anything. and, no, it's not FAT americans...it's 6.5 foot tall americans.
note, my fellow americans, what weigert refers to as "B roads" are nearly paved versions of roads back to deer camp you can only navagate with a Jacked up SUV with 35 inch mud tires!
Brando: I know the ute definition is kinda broad, but it generally means a 2 door estate with a truck style bed flood dropped on it up here. it was the Insurance companies that killed most of the other body styles by assuming everyone was a hot rodder, and it was the current oil crisis that killed all the rest.
