Bring back cheaper cars no matter how is what I would say.

Since the death of the NP200 there hasn't really been a cheap half ton bakkie :-(Bring back cheaper cars no matter how is what I would say.
I just had a look at what the cheapest bakkie in SA was and I have never seen one on the road, so maybe having one look slightly more stylish or recognisable would work better in the market:

(PS I love how they have tried their best to overexpose / bloom the car in the image in the hopes of disguising its sheer beauty)
Buying used: Suzuki S-Presso (2020-2025)
Which one to get?
If you’re after an S-Presso that’s drivable and easy to live with, the 1.0 GL+ manual is the choice. While the AMT promises automatic convenience, its shift logic may distract from the driving experience. The five-speed manual is light, accurate, and allows the driver to extract maximum performance from the engine. The GL+ specification is mandatory because it provides the essential touchscreen infotainment system. It is also advisable to prioritise models sold from late 2022 onwards, as these updated versions feature the more refined Dualjet K10C engine and, most importantly, ESP.
