Every now and then there are stories here on FR about a pickup Toyota makes for third world countries, I think it’s the Hilux. It’s a simple back to basic truck with zero frills.

That’s what the Geo Metro’s and Datsun’s were all about.

I’d love to buy a new car light this. Just simple basic transportation, manual transmission, hand crank windows, a simple radio with no nav system. Just basic transpiration.

Sadly, it will never happen.

That’s what the Samurai was. Easy to maintain, too.

I did a timing belt replacement on ours in less than 30 minutes.
