All I can say is Merci Beaucoup, and ありがとうございます

That was a good question; I checked:

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment, but ... wrong side of the road, wrong end of the stick and all that?

Considering history, it'd have to be Citroën, ca. 1955 - 1975.

@CobraJoe What about the Mazda 2? Over here that little thing has quite the reputation for being the supermini (subcompact) that definitively broke the bigger 'n heavier trend with added lightness and sharper handling. And it still meets all the crash tests.

More than that, have you seen the stats on the skyactiv-d? Easily Euro-6 compliant without the usual consumable tricks and funky stuff and even better mpg and co2 than the best hybrid- all from an honest to goodness diesel (albeit one that's properly thought through)

I agree with many others here that it'd be great to keep it as is- neither let it crumble to nothing, nor turn it into some primered ratrod nor turn it into a shiny trailer queen.

Hmm, so the only reason this isn't a car is that it is steam rather than petrol powered?

I wondered about that, but comparing a UK spec double cab HiLux with a US double cab Tacoma, they do seem different beasts: the HiLux is much taller, but narrower and slightly shorter, and much heavier. Most importantly, though, it's a diesel, so 28 mpg (US, 8l/100km ) combined and nearly as much torque as the Tacoma…

Not really, I just can't help thinking of the warlord's favourite: Toyota Hilux 3 Double Cab

The more I see Prius hatin', the less sense it makes.

Panhard. It literally defined the classic Jalopy lay-out (front longitudinal engine followed by a transmission, rear wheel drive) with the 1894 Système Panhard, and managed to out-weird even Citroën in engineering and style

Was I the only one who read that as "camaroed into a tree"?

Shift faster, I hear sheep.

In that case, I am not worthy on at least two levels :-)

That makes sense, but Jalopnik wants to change policy here based on what they saw at Facebook.

"auf Deutsch", bitte sehr

The screenshot bears that out: it's the German version of facebook, with I'd guess are a Japanese, Indian, Malaysian/Indonesian and someone from Latin America commenting on it...
