I am guessing it is a Japanese product offered in the Australian market. This would be just the thing for 2000 km treks through the outback. The color accentuates its weirdness nicely, I think. About the only color that could be WORSE would be what is known here in Vo Disland as Dago Orange! :hah:

All in all, it looks very Toyota - ish.

Probably a Tasmania built Tatra, though. Or a Skoda...... :P

Is it built either in Mexico or for the Mexican market?

Post by: GTO48 on January 11, 2007, 12:02:13 AM: Is Pieter close with the polar regions?

If not, my next guess after Mexican would be either Central or South American. couldn't tell you why, it just looks like something driven down there.

Not built in the Americas.

Post by: Tifosi on February 14, 2007, 04:34:09 AM: Altkam Stalker...but it seems to be identical to the Anthon-Impuls Hunter 2992...even the pictures on the websites are the same. Did the company change names, or was it bought out by someone else? It's Russian, or was originally.
