So, I'm in Trinidad at the moment and I'm blown away at the number and variety of non-passenger type vehicles. There are all sorts of vans, trucks, SUV/APVs that we never see in the US market. There are some very cool Hyundai and Kia vans - non are campers but they are smart looking, presumably fuel efficient as they are mostly diesels, lots of king-cab Isuzu trucks, a bunch of cool old British trucks selling ice cold coconuts and just more variety than we ever see in the US. Will we ever be free of the hegemenony of US automaker's dominance over what is perceived to be marketable vehicles? -- mordo 1990 Carat |
