Even though I'm sure NHTSA would never certify it as a 4-seater, and the average Joe would not be willing to buy a 2-seater version in order to circumvent crash regulations, the new Jimny Sierra could be a good contender to those side-by-side ATVs. Interior space was improved. I couldn't fit...

It does look good on white. Spotted this one while walking the dog a while ago.

Volkswagen could have exploited the same regulatory loophole that allowed Ford to keep making the Troller without airbags, but it would be impossible to circumvent the ABS mandate. However, since even some small-displacement motorcycles are now fitted with ABS it didn't really seem impossible at...

It's been a while and, even though I see a lot more Volkswagens with turbocharged engines, surprisingly some regional export versions of the Polo, Virtus and T-Cross are only available with the 1.6L naturally-aspirated engine. IIRC only Paraguay also gets the Brazilian T-Cross with the 1.0 and...

These have been marketed in my country as a replacement for those Tobatta tiller-tractors which used to be made by the local branch of Kubota.

Had to revive this thread. Chevrolet Onix, that new one developed for China. This one is actually made in Brazil. China doesn't get the hatchback The new Tracker. Sales took a while to catch up due to the Coronavirus, but now I'm seeing these quite often. Exactly one month and...

I have no experience (yet) with electric parking brakes but, in a vehicle with automatic transmission, the pedal-engaged parking brake still seems more reliable (even though in vehicles with a manual transmission, which in the current generation of the Silverado is now only available in the...

Better safe than sorry.

What did surprise me the most are the reports about the 3.0L Duramax being a straight-6 instead of a V6 like its contenders.

I actually took these pictures in the previous decade when I moved to my current neighborhood anyway :jester:

The CJ6 has been made locally but is not nearly as common as the CJ5 back here, and AFAIK most of the American-made ones were exported to Sweden or for CKD assembly in South Africa.
