Dec 2, 2008 - The Hilux turned out to be Ratchet (Transformers), no wonder they couldn't destroy it. Seriously I'd only consider buying two types of cars, a Japanese pickup truck or a 70s muscle car; I consider myself a simpleton. These cars are practical and reliable, and sure as hell easy and cheap to fix!

DaytonaRoadster Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - its on the top gear set on a tilted pillar in the background, you can see it when top gear starts just as the zoom in. So yes, they build a stage to honor it
DaytonaRoadster Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - if you design it right, any idiot can put it together. The japanese design execellent cars. I own a Z and and a Honda Fit, and they are both fantasic cars. I'll never own and american car. Only the germans come close
