Sprint Review: Mercedes-Benz X250d bakkie
A hyped-up new bakkie, lots of details in short paragraphs.
What you need to know: Mercedes is apparently back-paddling and emergency-meeting the living daylights out of themselves because of the X-Class. No matter what they do, no matter what anyone says or writes, all people remember is that it’s based on a Nissan. Navara with mascara. And nothing, nothing else matters.

Sprint Review: Volkswagen Amarok V6 TDi
A revered new bakkie, lots of info in short paragraphs
What you need to know: The Volkswagen Amarok was launched in 2010, mostly for a few bakkie-mad countries in the southern hemisphere.

Drie-liter Amarok: Kleinboet kry ‘n Grootboet!
Die Volkswagen Amarok is al sedert 2010 in die rondte en oor die jare heen het ons aan hom gewoond geraak. Miskien nie heeltemal met groot enstoesiasme nie want die 2-liter tubodiesel se wringkrag was tot ‘n klein reeks enjinrewolusies beperk. Die koms van die Amarok met ‘n outomatiese ratkas ‘n jaar of vier later het dinge heelwat verbeter maar om een of ander rede het Suid-Afrikaanse kopers nie dieselfde kooplus as die Suid-Amerikaners en Duitsers getoon nie.

‘n Nuwe Bul in die Blou-Ovaal se kraal
Sou die volgende beskrywing van luukse kenmerke van ‘n voertuig aan ‘n voornemende koper voorgehou word om die tipe voertuig te identifiseer, sou die raaiskoot waarskynlik na een of ander luukse Duitse-fabrikaat passasiersmotor verwys.
