No it ain’t. That’s the Hilux’s job now.

Neutral: Sure. I’m not in North America and while VW is is the naughty corner here as well...there’s not the hyperactive ah fuck I’ve been screwed reaction from the commentariat...or the car buying public. No-one over reacts like a morally outraged American

My daily drive is now in its 16th year, I’ve owned it since new and it now costs me more to drive each year (in terms of registration, fuel, insurance and maintenance) than it is actually worth.

Needs a knuckle boom crane to get stuff in and out of the ute bed. Otherwise it is perfectly sensi...ridiculous.

2004 Holden Torana

Now if only they would get off their diamond crusted arses for a moment...and get on with the new Defender.

Yeti is already taken. Sasquatch sounds daft for a car. Drop Bear has a ring to it though!

Good lord...you’d turn down a Maserati (admittedly used but in great nick) to buy a more expensive Holden (that will also depreciate like a shot duck)? That’s something very few Australians would even do!

Nissan Birdeater?

Sure...as long as you consider yourself similar to a box of hammers.

There’s plenty of room for Russia in that diagram. Just don’t forget the EU deserves a place too...

...and you think it can’t? Or at least wouldn’t try? Or hasn’t ever even considered the possibility?

I wouldn’t take it without the mirror polished hydroformed titanium bull bar with integrated fender guards and externally mounted roll cage...and 500,000 lumens of crystal meth blue LED lightbars.

If nothing else...Porsche has their new ‘design language’ for the 2020’s sorted. And I very fucking much approve...

Actually I suspect that most owners create awful photochops like this one to maintain the illusion that they actually do things things like this in them...

What a trooper!

As an Aussie...I’ve never heard the US dubbed version until now.

The pic shows the truck occupying the crown of the road which is whilst not strictly legal the safest place for a truck of that size on an unsealed road of that kind. Locals would be well aware of such a happenstance and there would be signage at most intersections warning specifically of logging trucks like this one.

I see Toyota has taken the DC & Marvel comic universe’s (especially superhero suit designs) as inspiration...maybe the popularity of “The Avengers” in the US has been misinterpreted in Japan?

What’s the low down on a platform share from this ‘interesting idea’ for the forthcoming BMW X10 SUV to battle the M-B G Class...
