Indeed they dont, and thats very sad sometimes, as new cars are made of paper mache with too many computers to break and cost a fortune to fix.
why cant simple reliable little hatchbacks/sedan make a comeback? I mean that is what you want in a place like Africa.

if I wanted a Star-Ship Enterprise, i'd watch the TV show, not drive it every day, with bongs and beeps and flashing lights everywhere.
simple honest to god transportation, what is so hard about that?

I loathe the vile things with every fiber of my being, and I have a Iphone 7 from work, useless thing that it is.

You know you're really showing your (lack) of intelligence & understanding with statements like that.

Just because a certain product doesn't give you a boner doesn't make it "useless". Understanding relativity & having objectivity are actually good attributes to have hey.

Same story with your view on modern GWM/Haval products.

Maybe try & move out of your 90's mindset.

Use it or don't use it.

I wonder how much VW saved by putting this style speedo cluster in 90% of their vehicles sold at the time.

Going by memory, I think that type of cluster was used in the Tiguan, Amarok, Polo, Jetta, Golf, Caddy and Transporter and probably also the Kombi, too.
 
Some people just aren't blessed with a good command of the English language.

Says the Afrikaner, so I guess I can't judge too much. Glass houses, and all that. I still mix up 'take turns' vs 'make turns' from time to time:X3:

My Pajero GLX 3.2 diesel, which I bought new 2005 has more than 300 000 on the clock. I recently took it on a Botswana (Okavango and Savuti/Chobe) trip and it towed by Conqueror trailer all the way (thick sand in December heat). Still the car we use on a daily basis. My wife has taken it over after I bought a new car 2 years ago. Best car I ever owned

During the 80s and 90s, my parents took us on a good few trips through Zimbabwe and Botswana. Last time was in 2007 (six months later my dad passed away). I always cherished those memories and wished I could share it with my wife and daughters. Now I'm in my mid-40s and my youngest daughter (8) has never seen the bushveld or even been on a game drive. So we reckon it's time to give our kids a world of new experiences before it's too late.
