    Ah! vehicles made in an age where quality counted. Toyota had a knack for making vehicles elegant yet simple (in relative terms) when designers like Honda would make things better yet far too complicated for them to have ultimate longevity.
    I think the Top Gear series where they attempted to kill the Hilux cemented its iconic status for the non Hilux owners
    Land Rovers remained far too agricultural for continued wide spread appeal (I owned three of them)
    Nissans never grabbed market share like the hiluxes did, but filled the towing niche well with their bigger donks

    And now Land Rover have lost the plot completely. Its meant to follow in the footsteps of the old classic 'Defender' but err no.
