mmmmmm, am I just being skeptical or a sore Lux loser - on all three races the margin that the Nissan beat the Toyota on and the VW beat the Nissan seem very similar margins.

The Hilux is 12 year old Technology, that is what happens if a manufacturer takes so long to launch a new model.

Would be interesting to see same test after the new model launched.

And then lastly, performance is not an indication of reliability, often the opposite.

'n Manual Amarok is nie enige iemand se speelmaat nie... die powerband is baie klein, en jy het 8 arms soos 'n seekat nodig om die spaan vinnig genoeg te roei.. daarom kom hy nou al met 'n 8spoed auto uit.. Maar gee hom krediet, daai auto boksie skuif hom or die aarde...

Julle moet ook een ding onthou... hierdie is dubbelkajuit leasure bakkies... nie workhorse bakkies nie... en vir daardie mark is hulle perfek...

Ek het baie respek gekry vir Amarok, veral nadat ek gesien het hoe hy kan pak vat en hy nie kla nie... Wegry se langtermyn Amarok het baie by ons opleiding gefeature oor die afgelope jaar... en hy is goed gebruik.. en het homself goed gedra..

Ons gaan nie drag races hou nie, dis reg, en die hele exercise is waarskynlik totaal "sinneloos"... maar weet jy wat, dit het bietjie die kat in die duiwehok losgelaat.. wat dalk nodig is om 'n paar oogklappe so betjie los te skud..

Intussen geniet jou Hilux, hy is nie onder thread van enige Amarok verkope in die afsienbare toekoms nie.. Die nuwe modelle kom mos darem volgende jaar uit, miskien is hy dan vinniger op die kwartmyl?? Dan sing ons almal 'n heel ander deuntjie oor die sinneloosheid van die exercise.. :twisted: :twisted:

You know what, if I want a fast car I will buy a Ferrari, or something like that etc..., but my reason for driving a Hilux is not because it can go fast, but because of where it can go.... I would love to see any of those vehicles get to the places my SFA can go... so that's my take on it.... now that's a pee pee comparison to consider.... and I think the only real comparison will be a Landcruiser.... the older versions..
