One thing I like compared to our version is how the fog lights are out board of the front bar

Fullback with 2.5l diesel engine.

Sounds like a candidate for selection in the NSW SOO team. :roll:

Fiat - Fabricate Imitations of Allied Transportation
which then becomes Fix It Again Tony!
Seems Fiat only did cosmetic changes and plastered their efforts over it.

The Renault Alaskan looks like a rip off the Navara NP300.
All others look terrible.

Lets see what Great Wall can bring to the table hahaha

HaHaHa. I remember those. The only bonus was that in the end, the were pricing them well below the ford, just to move them.

Also; remember the Toyota Lexcen!

The Toyota Camry re-badged as the Holden Apollo. Like the new Fullback a front grill change and a few thousand cheaper.

The fullback should be called the throwback.

Or the Ford Maverick makeover of the Nissan Patrol.

All part of the Button plan.
