But those are usually 5-seaters while this looks like a two seater. And it doesn't have a trunk, just this weird truck bed that does nothing to protect your stuff against the weather. I like the design philosophy of this truck, but I'd argue that you get much more value out of a compact car.

That's what's called a pickup truck bed.
