That’s only a 21. Mate of mine has a 23 window...found it in a field. New engine and gearbox plus a bit of spit and polish and it’s back on its wheels...

That’s because it isn’t. Apart from the updated engines, modern widgets and some sharper corners in the bodywork it is basically the same thing. So the converters will be quite satisfied.

Given the choice, I’d hit an armadillo...a wombat is like a 4 gallon drum filled with concrete.

Imagination is required for 350 km/h but not 100 km/h as I’ve seen the result. A colleague travelling on lonely open road between two towns in his Nissan Patrol ute (F150 sized thing) shortly after dark, keeping eyes out for kangaroo. When suddenly the jet black cow that had till then been resting curled up on the…

As usual...I just can't think of anything to do with a Toyota.

Mercedes-Benz have confirmed that it'll be based on the forthcoming Nissan/Renault platform and be built for MY2020 by Renault in Argentina and Nissan in Spain (the Renault version will also come out of Mexico).

This suggests that the humble modern tractor could (with a few software tweaks) be the ideal motor transport vehicle in the event of Ragnarok

It'll be a work truck.

Actually it is more likely that they are jealous of the Skoda Octavia Scout...which uses the same platform, same driveline but is larger and sits 31 mm taller than the stock wagen...and it’s out now (in Australia anyway). Plus it’s cheaper than an Outback....

What's worse? Vin Diesel's attention seeking inanities or the Torches complete incapacity to ignore them and spread them about like a leaking crank case?

Looks like it is coming in a short wheelbase single cab too (as well as standard length single cab).

The segment already got kind of created in the 70s and developed in the 80s but with one specific difference...tall suspension.

Mercedes-Benz (and most other makers) have been building vans like this for decades. Did you only just notice because M-B have finally decided to sell their version to you unfortunate American's? That's a bit sad.

I've owned an over powered Land Rover (S3 Stage 1 with a modified 4.4L Rover V8) before...

So are they still talking body on frame or are we going with live axles on a unibody?

Because 'spang' happens when you hit a pothole and your expensive colour coded hubcap takes a dive under an oncoming bus....

I'm sorry....but that interior looks like a Scandinavian bathroom.

It did but it was quite some time back...a previous generation in Oz
