Indeed a Fortuner. The driver was Fortunate.Looks like a Fortuner? I like that car.
Looks like a reckless lorry driver. Too fast turning the corner. Will they charge him or let him go scott free.
Another reason why supercar engine detached itself is to protect occupants in case of fire.
Ford everest i think could be better than fortuner. The 2 liter twin turbo version, if made available and cheaply, is the suv to go for. Current engine in a 3.2 litre turbo.
This video confirms Sam's belief in the quality of Toyota. If it was a Volvo, the driver would not stand a chance.
I'm unpleasantly surprised to find that the myth that Jap cars are unsafe and that Euro cars are far safer still exists in this day and age.
Earlier this month sent a friend to the Merc dealer at Thonglor to pick up her new E350e. Was waiting for her outside standing beside my car, the owner of the dealership an old guy and I know he is famous in Thailand in the "hiso" circle came out spoke to me asked me why I not choose a Merc, also saying Merc is much cheaper than my cars by 25-35%, I simply told him I like Japanese. And then shockingly he being a knowledgable old guy told me German cars are stronger and safer than my car . . . . . . I just brushed him off knowing his mind is already fixed and nothing can change.
In the early days this was true.
@Leongsam may I hear from you your personal opinion on the brand Maserati in particular the model Gibli
I have no firsthand experience with Maseratis but I cannot imagine it would be anywhere near as reliable as a Lexus. After all it is an Italian brand and Italians suck especially when it comes to electronics.
You like to see Sam masturbating over Toyota ?o_O@Leongsam may I hear from you your personal opinion on the brand Maserati in particular the model Gibli
Thank you

ItalianThe other thing is that you lose a ton of money the minute you drive it out of the showroom. It'll probably lose half its value on the first day.
These sorts of cars are enthusiasts who have some sort of love relationship with a particular brand. They don't mind the car giving problems as it gives them a chance to shower the car with loving care and attention. You need to have a good friend who is a car mechanic who knows how to fix these finicky Italian showpieces.
I don't masturbate over Toyota and I have no emotional attachment to the brand whatsoever.
It's just that I have reached the point in my life where I want the car that is invisible in that I don't have to pay it any attention whatsoever.
That's what a Toyota does. It's there in the morning, it starts, it takes me to wherever i steer it to and then takes me home with zero drama no rattles, no surprises no strange engine or suspension noises.
In the evening I just leave it to the elements knowing that it will not corrode and will definitely start again the next morning.
Can the same be said about Honda or other Japanese brands? Or is it just Toyota ?
I'm sure Honda are up there with the best too. However my personal experience with Honda was not that good as I had corrosion issues in Singapore with both my Hondas. (accord and civic). That was many years ago and I assume that very few cars corrode in this day and age.
The reason why I like Toyota is because I have the confidence to buy used Toyotas. I drive them for a few years and then sell them with minimum depreciation. With other Jap brands the depreciation is greater.
