The 1989-2005 Hiace is a beautiful van. I had hoped that the replacement would be of the same philospohy, rather than another Transit clone. I was delighted toi find that the design was indeed in the Hiace tradition, enlarged, but the styling... UGH!! You do get used to it, but after the old model the new is pretty hard to take. Funny, the Kia Pregio (what a name) was a blatant copy of the "old" 100-series Hiace styling. Wehn it was facelifted, guess what... it had a ripodff of the new 2006 Hiace nose grafted on... -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut HUMANITY: THE ULTIMATE VON NEUMANN MACHINE DEMOCRACY: RULE BY THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR |
