    To be honest I think that looks pretty terrible. I like US trucks a lot more, whether they're show trucks or work trucks.

    In all honesty, when I saw trucks in that style for download for PTTM, Haulin and now ATS, I always thought there was some artistic license involved, I never imagined they actually had that shackled-up stinkbug stance,

    Looks like a Mk2 celica to me, not 100% since I can't see much in your pic.

    Certainly it looks terrible, like any ridiculous rear end only lift, but with those especially as such lift makes them very unstable.

    Awesome is that people do crazy things instead of being all the same as others, subtle and afraid of going beyond generally accepted.

    @Peterbilt Yeah, I would of never believed such things really exists, got really big WTF moment when saw that clip first time. Those wouldn't be legal any other place I guess. What I have seen in clips, it seem in Brazil they don't really have speed limits for trucks, close to 100mph is normal. Imagine what kind of disaster such truck at that speed will be.

    Nope, that is domestic, imo. Look the trunk and line from trunk to side windows and rear wheel arch.

    I think Sapporo is closer, but not sure, looks so wide in pic above.

    Scorpion and Sapporo are identical cars, only sold in different markets, since the picture is from Australia it has to be a Scorpion

    Ah, those are probably different year versions then, in your pic indicator is wrong position compared to original pic of mystery car and grille has that center divider.

    Maybe image is stretched somehow and car in original pic looks so wide? Also rear part looks somehow different, but maybe that is problem with image too?

    Shame they don't do cars like that anymore.

    That Challenger is a Mitsubishi Scorpion that Chrysler imported and stuck the Dodge name on.

    It's a disgraceful car.

    Chrysler owned a sharing of Mitsubishi some time ago so they borrowed some of their cars and sold them as their own (the Conquest seems to be a well known example).

    And guess what, it's happening again.
