IMHO Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 was just reading on an Aussie Motoring Website - guy was moaning about getting a more underpowered Navara compared to their old V6 with 550 touque and how aussies needed powerful trucks. however, he also mentioned (not the first time I heard this) a newer high out 2.3 may be in the pipeline. I think he is confusing the current 2.5 and not making reference to the 2.3 Twin Turbo from Renault however. http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/new-nissan-navara-less-powerful-20140728-zxkhk.html I can't see why Aussies won't get the Renault engined version.. but they'll need to wait for the Spain assembly to start, just like previous gen.

Because some Aussie journo forgot (or never knew) where the old models came from, or knows but just wants to sensationalize his story? Same as before, the models AU wants that are assembled in TH will come from TH. The models AU wants that are assembled in Spain will come from Spain. Nissan aren't ditching the big HP engine globally just because it doesn't suit TH excise taxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 wasn't the journalist who stated it.. Nissan Australia general manager – corporate communications, Peter Fadayev, told AutoTalk: “At the moment Australia and New Zealand currently sources Navara’s from Thailand and Spain, with this all-new model, the scheduling for production has us getting it from Thailand.

That will also probably happen too But for now, an updated 2.5 mean less expense re-tooling, re-stocking and re-training, and leaves them with strategic options for a mid-life update to combat new competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Thais don't give a damn about safety and aren't prepared to pay exxtra for those features. I was going to buy the Mitsu Triton until I discovered it only had a driver's side airbag. They wouldn't be allowed to import that into Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us got here by saving our money and investing it so we are able to retire comfortably. The good old days for some, like those on disability support pensions might be over.

Ace of Pop Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 My point is that leaving off Gizmoes is the cost saving that means a lot to average Thais.Many have to drive Tractors here with no Air Con all day,a few 100 $ means a lot to the majority. No spelling error or Joke. Cause there are many Ozz here that earned the right, i referred to the Beach Road Goons that are pissed all the time.

Spoonman Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 A goon is not a hoon, The term hoon is used to refer to one who drives a vehicle in an anti-social manner. what does a pissed up "goon" have to do with this thread ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
