    how do they compare price wise to Transit etc. ?

    also on the Harris front ( I know this has been discussed before but no definite answer ) can Hino large trucks not be sold in this country anymore ?

    the box bodies and pick ups seem to be finding a bit of a niche, haven't passed Harris's place for a while , still full of stock ?

    hes also selling a Chinese tipper truck called Sino ! as its being imported in low volume it doesn't need to meet emissions of other brands.

    I'm seeing lots of them on the road. I think they are being aimed more at small businesses rather than fleets now.

    SAIC MG are doing similar with the GS in the uk by keeping sales volumes below 1000 in 12 months to get around certaim conformity regs.

    I still think their marketing is terrible , they should be appealing to white van man by advertising in tabloids - sponsoring sports programmes and maybe sponsor league of Ireland team .

    Are you seeing the normal vans or pick up / luton bodies ?
    I check D Dennehy in corks facebook page and hes selling a few lutons/ pick ups - seems they have crew cabs / minibuses too.

    I've seen a full spread tp be honest, especially arpund Dublin. Luton bodies seem to be getting used as road/motorway servoce vehicles near me in Tipp. A good few vans cropping up too. Still no reports good or bad from any actual users or owners.
