  The El Camino was supposed to be an improvement. A combination between a car and a truck. It turns out it was not an improvement. It's better to just have a car or a truck. Cutting them in half and then weirdly stitching the two parts together creates a Frankenstein nightmare of bad engineering. Which even the best explanations on the planet can't fix.
