I thought they all had big Red Bull cans on the back.

That is a vehicle that I never ever understood.  Ever.

I know where there’s one locally–and, no, not parked for good, either.

I've actually been thinking about them recently, and how one would be a near ideal car for me - I rarely have passengers or cargo, it has four wheel drive so it would be good in the winter, and I live in the city where traffic is tight and parking is at a premium so its small size would be an advantage.

I think a Tracker or Sidekick would be more reasonable; same thing with a back seat and cargo area, without being any bigger. But we are not reasonable people, we are GRM people.

They're OK too but I never have passengers so a back seat isn't necessary, and the most cargo I've carried in years has been nothing more than a couple bags of groceries.  Also, they look more or less like conventional SUVs, just at 3/4 scale.  The goofy shape of the X-90 kind of appeals to me.
