Sorry, cars are those things with a boot at the rear, a Navara is a Truck or even a pick up truck, definitely not a C A R though.Zaphod said:
It has to be right, if people referred to cups as saucers, we'd all be in trouble wouldn't we? :wink:
Is it a C A R or a truck?

I actually love the Equator front end, looks like a "truck" should look imo.
Anyway, we're going off topic now, let's have a bloody good argument on what type of vehicle a Navara is.

It's an underpowered pile of ****, which I still have to put 8x4s on the roof of, as it isn't big enough for man stuff. I wish I had kept my Dodge Ram PICK UP TRUCK.

It's forward thinking of the L 2 0 0 to include a clothes rail in the load bed for all those pink suits. They really understand their client base.navman rich said:

Sorry to be boring, virtually all our vehicle terms go back to horse drawn vehicles.
The term carriage is a 4 wheeled vehicle specifically for carrying people. This has been abbreviated to c a r, even the Romans used the word carre.
A truck was a simple load carrying vehicle with no sides or roof. A few centuries agoit was called a truckle.
A wagon was a truck with sides and a roof.
Lorry is an exception, it has no obvious root.
So if the main purpose is people carrying, it is a c a r.
If the main purpose is carrying a load, it is a truck.
Inherently loads of other vehicle terms have horse drawn roots: cab, cabriolet, chassis, coupe, sedan, etc etc.

i like to call my nav a truck, but around here noone would understand. to call something a truck here it's got to be in the 7.5t class at least. And i even changed my classification to "off road vehicle for carrying up to eight people, Pickup" , before it could be translated as "loory up to 3.5t with open box"
so as much as i'd like that my nav would be reffered to as a truck, everything that is smaller than a medium lorry around here is called a car.
