I agree with Jimbo completely,I read a glowing review in the paper yesterday that rated this vehicle above the Hilux Nissan and Amorok ??
I have just googled typed in “the worst modern day production vehicle that I have ever driven” and bingo Jimbos comments are exactly in line with my experience.

It’s a shame that so many Australians know what everybody else want’s when it comes to Motor vehicles

Funny thing is even the manufacturer’s don’t know what we want

Ford— GM we are are sick to death of the Japanese crap
that you continue to throw at us,

you are lucky that Volkswagen got it wrong and model on a hi lux, the worst performing and the least abilty of any Jap ute available There are crap can’t carry can’t tow

Give us F trucks and silverado’s and I will buy one tomorrow plus that other mob with Rams.

Forget abour manual utes and cars auto should be standard manual you should pay extra

Get a grip on yourselves and give the Market what it deserves We are sick and tired of JAP CRAP

The black one has Familiar Mazda Shaped nosecone (grille etc) and what definately looks like a Mazda shape and size badge in the centre (Squarish as opposed to Ford’s oval).

I now they are essentially the same car, but why call it a ford when everything on it says mazda…?

This is still 3 years away.

insight via these photos will be of no use.

Lets hope it carries Falcon/Territory drivability traits

Oh, is that LHD I see???

The Amorak will slay this thing in all departments. But it will cost more.

Good spotting

Seen your carparazzi has been bust down YouYangs way!

Looks like any other dual-cab-ute, a more outstanding looking vehicle is the Mitsu job.

Race is on to be the first with interior and underbonnet photos.

*SCOOP* Could the IL6 from the Falcon/Terri live under that bonnet in ULP/LPG form?

Cheers

Jimbo, I drive a turbo skyline and an xr6t and i admit i kinda like the idea of a ‘jacked up ute’ like an Isuzu d-max but am put off by the hopeless back room, poor crash ability and the poor driveabilty… especially with 1990s throwbacks like the Isuzu/Colorado twins and the excreble D22 navara

they are getting better… it’s the go anywhere ‘vibe’ much like how people buy 4wd Territorys and toorak tractors but never venture out of the North Shore.

My ‘dream’ (bad dream maybe) is a crew cab ute under 1.5 ton with one of those new Korean CRDi 2.2 litre diesels with 150kW and 435Nm… i hope someone can get them to handle and have the interior not look like a looted store.

I drive work Rodeos and Colorados and they are crappy 2 ton petrol whores. And wow are they fun to park!

especially in the CBD car parks
