When will auto companies see the need for minitrucks?

I've been wondering when the Auto companies of the world will release true Minitrucks again? I know Ford still makes the Ranger and a few other companies make what can still be considered "Minitrucks". Some companies have continually made their trucks bigger and bigger. The need for a small 4 cylinder minitruck with out all of the frills is still something that is in demand. I along with many others would love to see some smaller affordable minitrucks back on the market. I think it is time to make our voices heard.  Later Josh  

agreed. Seems crazy that with today's push for efficiency, trucks are getting bigger and bigger. I think our days of true mini trucks are over, and if something of that size emerges, it'll be more car-like. Sad sad sad. Wonder if Mahindra is still planning on bringing their truck over. If so, it's still going to be too expensive.  

i've been waiting to see them mahindra's...... i hate that any "pickup" stlye small vehicles are based on front wheel drive platforms.  

the mid size truck is the new mini truck...lol  

so if we could bring back any true mini truck, what would we choose?  

i think the mazda b series or the s10's should be the one to make the come back mostly just because the ease of building and wide part availblity. chevy tried to help us i dont know if the colorado is a mini or mid size.

I think the Colorado killed GM      

my vote naturally goes to Toyota! I'm sure deep down every s-10 owner wants an old Hilux!   right, Monica?  

I hate to think that the small pick up trucks will be built on a front wheel drive platform too. But i'm sure as everything goes someone and or some company will make those trucks look cool and offer aftermarket parts. I may get some slack from everyone but I always thought the Volkswagon truck looked cool. That truck is  front wheel drive and was also offered with a diesel engine. As far as a custom suspension for the VW truck I guess you are limited. However, I have seen          uni-bodydropped  import cars. Just some food for thought.  

i seen a old minicooper truck at a show a few weeks back. would be sweet to see one on bags.
