That's the understatement of the year! ;): This video gets posted every few months but I never tire of it. The infamous Top Gear Hilux video rawks! :rocker:
 
This is the first time I have seen it ... and all I can say is "WOW!"

Of course --- its a Toyota ... did you expect any less?

I was expecting a lot, but to stay functional after fire and building, it's amazing...:p
 
I would be alot more impressed if they would've parked the truck in the first floor of one of the buildings...

The water sinking was pretty impressive though...
 
Incredible!

Near the end, after the building collapse, the mechanic looked more like an EMT performing CPR (blue surgical-looking gloves, rythmic chest compressions, etc).
 
That's the point GM and Ford misses.

I recently read Bill Ford (Chariman of Ford and grandson of Henry) about he was planning to reitalize Ford...building new exciting cars, more stylish vehicles, cutting jobs and closing plants.....same type of yada yada yada from Jack Waggoner of GM...

It was interesting to note that neither one of these clowns talked about making reliable, durable, and dependable cars. Neither one of them talked about making quality cars that wil be there starting up day after day with minimum fuss and last a good 200,000 miles....neither one talked about making cars people wanted.

This indestritable Hilux was just a little truck that could. Not flashy, not retro-glam, no bling bling, even when new. Just a truck that would not die. Camry, Avalon, Corolla, 4Runners, Landcruisers......they all run forever. Not one of them will take any contests for "excitement". Yet people are buying them. Toyota is expanding and growing while Ford and GM are shrinking and dying....perhaps they forgot their goals, maybe they have lost their way..perhaps their MBA hired fresh from IVy League universities just don't understand anything beyond case anaylisis and reading financial statments---or how to scam off corporate assets--they know how to read the bottom line, but they have no idea how to grow the bottom line.....which is making cars that work.....

the video is fun, but it carries a greater message of what is wrong with American car companies. This ought to be requried reviewing by eveyr auto exect and MBA in school of what's wrong with Amercia and how to fix it.
 
I wonder if the newer Toyotas are built as strong as the earlier ones. I love my new '05 Runner Sport, but I honestly believe that my 2000 4Runner was built stronger than my '05.
 
Top Gear was on the Discovery Channel for a while. Anyone know where to view it now? It makes Car and Driver TV look like local access cable.
 
lol. that is a real funny video. And for anyone that is interested in seeing that show there is a good website that has a lot of the better videos

It is on www.wreckedexotics.com. Once the screen opens there is an icon for videos gallery on the upper right corner. click that and you'll some som sick sick rides

Not only that you also have a generation that has grown up that had cancelled vacations and trips to the beach because their parents Chevy was at the shop for the umpteen time. Why would we want our kids to go through the same aggravation?

I hear what you're saying, but I disagree about Chevy.

I grew up with my parents owning 3 Chevy wagons (1970, 1977, 1984). All of them had at least 150,000 miles when sold. Not one let us down. I have great memories of the vacations travelled in our Chevies.

If Chevy still made a full size, reliable station wagon like the one's my family owned, I'd seriously consider getting one today. The old full size station wagons had a lot of room, and could haul and tow quite a bit.
