Everybody Wants a Little Ute

…and the latest is this custom Mini Cooper pickup that Pioneer is building for its booth at the Paris Tuning Show. The Mini-ute is lowered, body-kitted, and rolling on 18-inch wheels. It’s sure to be packing a heck of a lot of car audio, along with on-board nav. But you’d better learn how to rip it up on a shortboard, because your 9’0" just wouldn’t look right on that roof. See more pics after the jump.

There’s a custom made Pt Cruiser ute that shows up at all the cruise ins in town. That thing is awesome, even has a wood bed. With all the hype lately, maybe utes are regaining popularity stateside.

If it had a fully functional “bed” it would be the ultimate “UUV” Useless Utility Vehicle haha. “UUV” patent pending
