2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz will be a true compact pickup
We spotted Hyundai's upcoming truck in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Hyundai making the same mistake Subaru made with Baja. 4 door is just another entry into a crowded class and will fail. Make the 2 door and be in a class by itself with no competition and have a more useful box. I would buy the 2 door but won’t bother looking at a 4 door.Ann Arbor, Michigan is where the new 2022 Santa Cruz pickup truck was spotted recently.

I actually really like what they did with the concept version and the rear doors. That said, I have a Baja and I love it. I am convinced that it was 10 years ahead of its time and if it was introduced today, Subaru would sell boatloads of them. Where I think Hyundai is missing the boat is...it has taken them too darned long to get this thing to market. Instead of having the market to themselves for 3-4 years, they are going to run into a ton of competition, now.Hyundai making the same mistake Subaru made with Baja. 4 door is just another entry into a crowded class and will fail.

I had an '86 Brat for about 10 years and over 200,000 miles and loved it too. Subaru head gasket problems kept me from buying another Subie. Hyundai concept had me all excited again for two seater awd and something I could actually get in my garage.I actually really like what they did with the concept version and the rear doors.

Brats are very cool. I JUST saw one for sale in Colorado. It was PRISTINE...about 90k miles on it. Sold for about $16k. It was such a cool looking vehicle, even if it had less than 100hp.I had an '86 Brat for about 10 years and over 200,000 miles and loved it too.
