Yep we looked at a few of those in the dealers, I got the impression of a dark, close together, deep and squeezy cabin with vision difficulties out the back. Cloth fabrics were very normal (probably will wear well) - the car out front was demo, not new, and had already sold. Nothing new in stock. The only interior that impressed that day was the Outback Touring at 57+K, an example with tan leather seats, very comfortable, nice view out the dash, spacious, particularly the 2nd row. Wagon length for surfboards...

At least a Mustang does what is says on the tin, as in being a performance car with drop-dead styling. A dual cab pickup is virtually useless as a "commercial vehicle" unless it's towing a trailer to house all the stuff that won't fit in the tray.

Quite a few tradies down here are going the vans, as all the gear can be stowed and is less floggable. Young one is using a 4x4 wagon, for same reason. Stuff buying a tray or styleside then needing an extra trailer to bring all the tools.
I maintain that an Aussie panel van and shared coupe utility with the power/strengths of old could find a niche in the market. If Mr Ineos Grenadier billionaire can do it for the Defender niche, someone can do it in this case.
