[Dockstrada]

This could be just a rebadge and it's a done deal .

Looks like the old defender.

Looks like the old defender.

More precisely - looks like the Series 3; which is exactly what it is, albeit somewhat updated and a new manufacturer.

This is a reincarnation of the licence built Series 3 by Santana, who continued to develop the Series 3 after it was replaced by the 90/110 in the mid eighties.

The Massif has been discuussed on here before, problem is Iveco are not bringing them into Australia (do they make a RHD version ?).

Not sure I like the look of the front end. Not sure if it's too japanese or just too modern looking.....

I think they've also been discontinued which doesn't help the cause for anyone who wants one.

[Pickles2]

Not keen on that,....front is "Chinesey"...has a Great Wall look about it.

I'd still pick the Iveco Daily 4x4 double cab anyday!

A little bit bigger to drive around and uncomfortable to park in tight spaces (but who cares) but a perfect machine built for exploring and much much better than any other Toyota or Nissan out there (once the beloved Defender will taken out from production line) and it is only 80-90K!
