2. Subaru BRAT (Bi-Drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter)
The Subaru BRAT stood out in the 1980s as a true original, blending the utility of a pickup with the comfort of a passenger car. One of its most distinctive features was the pair of rear-facing jump seats in the bed, cleverly designed to bypass the costly ‘chicken tax’ on imported trucks. The BRAT’s playful character and practical design earned it a devoted fan base. Even decades later, its quirky charm and adventurous spirit have made it a lasting Subaru icon. [Source]
