First is a relative term, so the Renault is the third or fourth Navara with mascara and that is innovative?Image

Its actually damn sad, the only innovation here is we get our junior partner to build a half decent vehicle and then we all copy paste it into rebranded garbage!? No, Mazda Ford has done that for years!


Hell yes America has done it since my grandfather can remember, Chev, Buick, GMC etc

Then we feed the press half cocked truths, claiming firsts, but we let them stay in five starred luxury so that they are lenient to us, even this is not a new concept!

What is sad and this is not aimed at any one specific on this forum, is that we believe this rubbish! I see you guys as independent thinkers, I think that is why we all are here and not on the slightly lighter orange pages!Image Hell I’m colour blind so actually don’t give a toss about what colour we are 🤣

If you look for innovation look at history, very little we do today has not been done in the past!

For interest sake, the first hybrid diesel electric unibody 4x4 with solid axle coil sprung suspension was built in 1904, and as it had independent hub motors at each corner we can argue that already then we had a form of traction control that superseded difflock as we know it today!

No it won't - he has a v6 Amarok, the poorer power outputs & the inferior ride quality will make him grumpier...
