Vigo

[90mile]

Afternoon chaps...

Anyone had a look at a Vigo yet?

cheers Marc

[BUSHWHACKER]

Yep, and it's hideous!

[Gizmo]

4x4 Magazine put it last in a test they did between

Nissan Navara
Isuzu Rodeo
Hilux Vigo.

[90mile]

Really?? Whats the latest model surf avail then - is that in Vigo format too?

[BUSHWHACKER]

'fraid so. It does look better in all black though, but it's the front end that looks the worst, the headlights look like they've been pulled back too much by a 'back street' plastic surgeon.

[phoebelala]

Yeah, the front end is something that will be regarded as its worse point by all methinks.
Rodeo Denver in a much better looking vehicle dare I say!

I'd imagine that it would look weird if it was lifted.
Nice to see that I had some influence over the Toyota design people, they've copied my idea for the roof rails!

[90mile]

Its been hit w a spade

[90mile]

Hmm def an ugly bruiser - the earlier models were much more proper looking for lack of a better description.. I wonder when they'll appear on the import lists here...

B4 the Vigo came out ARB had the mitts on it and developed kit for it. Just look on ARBs website. [Springs, Winch Bumper]

[BUSHWHACKER]

Yep, it's the 2005 4Runner, SR5 the alterative to the Vigo pick-up.

Saw one in London on Monday, carrying a cap over the bed.

Looked good from behind, and from the side, but what have they done to the front? Looks like it's made of something soft and squishy. Yeuch!

Still, it'll be a while before I have to worry about buying one <sigh>

[90mile]

Theres one parks over from work. Fitted with the D4d engine - same as the Rav4 no?? When will we start getting latest surfs over here?
