Wie heißt den das auto genau?
Toyota Hilux, ein Modell aus 1988, wird ja glaub ich im Video auch öfters erwähnt.
The Hilux has gained a reputation for exceptional sturdiness and reliability, even during sustained heavy use, and is often referred to as "The Indestructible Car". This was further reinforced when on the BBC motoring show Top Gear, a 1988 Hilux with 190,000 miles (308,000 km) on the odometer was subjected to extraordinary abuse. This consisted of driving it down a flight of steps, scraping buildings, crashing headlong into a tree, being washed out to sea and completely submerged, driving it through a garden shed, dropping a caravan onto it, hitting it with a wrecking ball, setting the cabin & bed area on fire,[6] and, finally, placing it on top of a 240-foot (73 m) block of flats that was subsequently destroyed by a controlled demolition.[7] Although it was now suffering from severe structural damage, the truck was still running after being repaired without spare parts and only with typical tools and equipment that would be found in a car's toolbox, such as spanners, motor oil, and a monkey wrench (adjustable spanner).[8] The Hilux currently resides as one of the background decorations in the Top Gear studio.

Das war ein alter Saugdiesel. Die stecken halt viel weg, genau das Richtige für solche Kilometerfresser, bei gleichzeitig schwierigen klimatischen Bedingungen und schlechten Straßen.
Aber seinen guten Ruf hat Toyota ja nicht nur weil es zuverlässige Toyotas gibt, sondern auch wegen der geringen Schwankungen der Qualität über ein paar Jahrzehnte gesehen, und quer über die ganzen Fahrzeugpaletten.
Und deswegen halt auch zurecht größter Autohersteller der Welt
