Really nice styling though.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Looks almost like a Lego model in the load bin.
I like the frontal styling, but Oh, those rims...

Ja we wil mos say maar niks because our business owns a Nissan/Dacia NP200 which is in fact nothing else than a Renault with Nissan/Dacia skin.

Yes, it's the result of a Nissan/ Renault coalition from where we see the Renaults wit Nissan badges on the markets and roads. Not necessarily bad I think.. But what's interesting...is they are going to throw in Daimler as well...pietpetoors wrote:Ja we wil mos say maar niks because our business owns a Nissan/Dacia NP200 which is in fact nothing else than a Renault with Nissan/Dacia skin.

Re: Renault's Hilux-fighter: New Alaskan bakkie
Pieter I simply dont understand why there are so few 1/2 ton bakkies available .....
Pity they dont bring in the VW 1/2 ton unit .... now there is v-trouble-u that I will buy.
Pieter search a bit, the NY cabs are being replaced by some or other Nissan vehicle !!

Re: Renault's Hilux-fighter: New Alaskan bakkie
VW is bringing back a 1/2 tonner now, based on a Polo.
The big pity is that for some many years Toyota nether had a half tonner.

Re: Renault's Hilux-fighter: New Alaskan bakkie
Pieter any reason you did not go for the VW Caddie (die nuwe bussie, nie die ou bakkie nie) ?
Certainly much easier to load and to use than a bakkie.
How do the prices compare ?
