I give you the Nissan Juke
The Stallion is actually still around - its now called the Avanza. The original square Stallion was designed in the Philippines as a basic delivery van.
Then it underwent many changes but the line goes something like Stallion -> Venture -> Condor -> Avanza.
Can we have a vote here?I bet the Multipla will take it.
My father has this car. A Ssangyong Musso.

It doesn't compare against other SUVs ... BUT ... proportionally ... for the price we had to pay for this car .... it was a better buy than buying any other SUV. This car has got SPACE which you'll only find in a Land Cruiser Sahara. It's got many other deficiencies but I love this car and will buy it from my dad if he decides to sell it one day.
Sure, the Stallion is no oil painting and as far as handling goes the Ananza still carries the legacy of falling over with very little effort required. However, what we consider to be the Stallion's down fall is what was its strong selling point for quite a few business owners I know. If you want a plaas bakkie or delivery vehicle that is though and won't be taken on joy rides or land you any speeding tickets on your desk then Stallion was your top choice. I know of a few farmers in Stellenbosch that were forced to switch to Tata Telcoline when the Stallion bakkie was phased out. Granted, these farmers do not buy Stallion/Telcoline because they are poor, their S-Classes / Land Cruisers / Raiders / 7-series tell a different story, they buy these feature deprived bakkies because they are so.... how do you put it.... workforce friendly![]()
