This modified Australian saying is still relevant today, since modern models that come out of the Japan’s car factories still hold up the reliability standards and possess some hardcore all-terrain capabilities. In this episode of #AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews we would like to cover the newest 2022 models within this class and describe their off-road potential.
