    We love those proboxes here in Kenya. They are driven like land jets by madmen who transport perishable khat . I drove both (probox and succeed) for five years for work and still miss it because other drivers generally fear probox drivers.

    Did a double take to make sure I was watching a Noriyaro video and not a Top Gear one at first, but the Probox looks like one of those stealth fighters, lightweight, upgradeable and practical enough that you can use it for shopping runs and still have fun while doing it.

    You’re right, it was bad idea filming this 😅 I’ve been living in Japan for about half a year now and when I first started seeing these cars everywhere they were very reminiscent of my Volvo 940 back home. I also love Toyota, and I had an Acura 1.6EL which was a blast of an FF, so this seems like a naturally ideal car for me. I had no idea they had so much potential for speed though! I’m guessing these didn’t come in a manual though would need a swap. I’m driving a JA11 Jimny right now and loving it, goes great in the snow here in Niigata, but I can definitely see myself in one of these Succ-box… Pro-state… wagons one day. I’ll be here for 5 years, plenty of time to think it over!

    The 1NZ is bulletproof too, mine has 250k miles and only burns oil, its never needed to be resealed.

The result, the BIG M8 meme but with a literal MPV whilst the others was saloons. They were allowed due to the 405s chassis being a saloon.
