What does Oppo think of this?

I think it needs a couple of things

- a longer bed
- RWD if it doesn't have it
- and it needs to be sold over here.

it's like a modern Unimog 406!

minus portal axles, and probably most off-road capability.

Wait, if I buy that I'll get my own free set of Scorpions, too?

It need longer bed to make it more useful, but they're on the right track.

Don't forget the hydraulic systems

Love it, who are the aged rockers there though? They look way too familiar. Hopefully it isn't alluding to a special edition like

I like it, but it doesn't look very practical.

Asia has dirt cheap versions of these...

They can be purchased/configured to have seats in the back also.

See this is what Im talking about. Couldn't find any. Thanks!

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > edu-petrolhead 09/22/2014 at 17:11

I'd like to see a single-cab version of it. If it retains FWD, it should have that cool pass-through locking cargo compartment under the bed and behind the cab like the T3 versions. I always thought those were the coolest, but couldn't see myself buying anything like that because I'm not really a pickup guy.

Abolish the chicken tax already!!!

Oh, wait, do you hear that? It the guys who bashed on the Honda Ridgeline, and they're coming this way, pitchforks and torches at ready.

"... not a real truck, bro... not a real truck, bro. Not a real truck, bro! NOT A REAL TRUCK, BRO!"

Seems they've been bored since Honda put their "pickup truck" on hiatus.

I like it though. I think it looks awesome. A good successor to the old-school VW Transporters:

(And for the record, I liked the Ridgeline, and I'm excited to see the next iteration - assuming its not vaporware).

SOOOOOOOOOOOOo coool. I think it would look great with a machine gun mounted in the back or as an overland vehicle.

See these every day. The three wheeled Mahindra ones are notoriously unsafe

Scorpions man. The hardest working men in early 80 hard rock/metal.

yeah after seeing that again I thought that was who it might be. I would be down with a Scorpions special edition of this!

All of them are notoriously unsafe! No airbags, no one wears sear belts, no traffic laws (that are followed), towing/hauling capacity regs aren't followed. Heck I bet you could punch through the doors if you were trapped.

In Asia/India, you are the crumple zone :D
