[Josh Langel]

I was searching the net and found this photo... pretty different looking...



Why does America get the lame looking trucks?

'cause Americans are afraid of style, flair, and something a bit out of the ordinary.

It's a Mitsibushi Strada in the Philippines or maybe all over Asia, available with diesel engines.

thats the japan version. in the new mini truckin' that i just picked up last night, theres a photo of one that is black and has wheels on it already. looks like to me, they just stole the front end off of bmw and glued it on there. and the bed looks like they stole a ST bed and duct taped it to it.

 

[Josh Langel]

back looks for colorado than ST.

I like it...but look at those crappy steel rims...lke the ones on chevy's wt package:lol:

 

[Larry Phillips]

I've seen those in person down here in Honduras. Pretty freaky looking in person. They've got a few cool trucks down here.

Actually, that's an English license plate.

Actually, that's an English license plate.

Grump...I know you are from England, but the logo looks like a vehicle from the EU. That would not be English since they are not part of the EU.



Thinking back, every car in Germany I saw from England had yellow plates.

Right and wrong Tom. England is part of the EU, they jusp opted out of the Euro conversion, and the plates are white on the front and yellow on the back of the car. They started using these plates about 7 or 8 years back. Still white in front, yellow in back.



Also, it's a right hand drive, so no other Euro country fits (anymore).

edit - found a British site that says the EU plate is optional, as of 1 Sep 2001.

 

[Travis Munday]

You can get EU style plates in England. Has the same visual look as the rest of the EU plates, but retaining the British style of plate numbering.

steel wheels keep the cost down, people buy the aftermarket rims they like anyways.
