Body looks pretty bland. Finally a more modern diesel engine. Updated cabin, perhaps the most modern looking of any pickup sold in Thailand.

Overall though: Too little too late?

Cheers,

"Mazda and Ford have taken a conservative approach in design," That is an understatment ! They look just plain boring. Everyone has got to run like hel_l to even stay in the same race as Toyota with their Vigo. After putting up with a crap Mitsui Pickup, I dumped it 6 months ago and brought a Vigo. I am now a confirmed Toyata fan, it exceeds expectations in everyway. For a pickup its just brilliant.
