The Making of the Amigo

A group of engineers stand around the design table at Isuzu headquarters in the late 90s. An enormous pile of cocaine and prostitutes dominates one corner of the room. A hand briefly emerges from the cocaine, gropes a hooker, and then withdraws.
Engineer 1: Alright boys, let's get started on our latest design.
Engineer 2: Do we really have to make another one? I mean, we're not even going to be staying in America for much longer.
Engineer 3: Exactly! We don't need the American market. And what bigger "fuck you" can we possibly give them than the shittiest car in existence!
Engineer 2: Brilliant!
Engineer 1: Now, I'm thinking a 2 door version of the Rodeo. Except considerably shittier and harder to maintain.
Engineer 4: Hey, what's with this big pile of cocaine and hookers? Were we doing something with that?
Engineer 2: Well, uh, I think he was planning on some sort of joke with that, maybe a scarface reference?
Engineer 3: Well, Scarface is really more of an 80s thing, he was probably going to make some sort of American Psycho reference.
Engineer 4: Has he even seen American Psycho?
Engineer 1: Guys, guys, this is getting out of hand. Let's get back to the car.
Engineer 2: Well first of all, let's put it on a four-wheel drive Chassis, even though it's got 2 wheel drive.
Engineer 3: Won't that increase the chance of it flipping over?
Engineer 2: Don't worry, we'll put a tiny note on the shades.
Engineer 4: How about we put a sunroof in, and then destroy every spare sunroof shade in existence!
Engineer 1: So if they lose it, and they don't want sun streaming constantly into their car, they'll have to fly to Japan to get a new one!
Engineer 2: Now, the clutch is an extremely vital part of the engine.
Engineer 3: Obviously.
Engineer 1: So, let's make it out of play dough and wood chips!
Engineer 3: An excellent idea! And let's make it so you have to take apart the entire fucking engine to replace it! Any other ideas?
Engineer 2: Let's use 11mm bolts on the spare tires!
Engineer 1: But, the standard metric sizes are 10mm and 12mm... Brilliant!
Engineer 3: And the only way to change the headlight bulb, is to smash the whole fucking thing in with a hammer!
Engineer 4: Hmm... I feel like there are more vital parts of the engine we can make out of fucking cardboard...
Engineer 1: Alright guys, so what do we call this bitch?
Engineer 2:... The Amigo?
All four engineers burst into fits of laughter and fall to the ground, they then crawl over to the pile of cocaine and hookers and curse the name of American consumers.
