Mint - absolutely Mint - and the new truck looks great too.

But why does it start with a Mitsubishi logo?

[kitesurf_phil]

Looks really good. I must get some new speakers so I can hear the soundtrack.

Why don't we see these ads here? Animal rights people I suppose. Health safety would have a field day too!

If you had speakers I think you would have heard why we don't see these ad's on our tv

Hilux Vigo

Is that the new Hilux Vigo?

Yes it sure is, one hell of a truck, made in Thailand for the rest of the world.
The SUV version is called the Fortuner. Seen plenty around but not had a chance to have a go in one yet. According to the Bangkok Post motoring correspondent 'Its a beautiful luxurious motor,-but cr*p of road' !!

[Gamedawn]

They're both based on the new world wide chassis and I think we should be getting the Vigo as the new Hilux later in the year. They also say the Fortuner will be sold in Europe later in the year - probably made in South Africa. Unfortunately I think the Hilux is still going to have to 2.4 engine, not the 3.0

The vehicle is only available via import at the moment. Mentioned in 4x4 or TOR

Yes, very luxurious and i think its a great looking motor. Saw one in a dealer with full cream leather interior, looks really good.

Did you mean you actually have seen some Fortuners in UK ? If you have, please let me know of anyone who imported one. I want to import one too because as I have read everywhere there is no chance to see it on our roads. They think it will eat into the Landcruiser sales.

Your Hilux

Yes, very luxurious and i think its a great looking motor. Saw one in a dealer with full cream leather interior, looks really good.

As I can see you have a 96 Hilux (3rd generation). Where did you buy it from ?
