Excellent truck, the Isuzu D-Max 3.0... less blah, blah, blah and more economy, better engine and robustness, and more comfort when driving

The whole "Toyotized" marketing thing is another story; it's a good vehicle, but it's given more fame than it deserves — very bouncy, unstable, I almost rolled one of them

I've had a Hilux 3.0, then a Mazda BT-50 2.2, but now an Isuzu D-Max 3.0... marketing won't fool me — body quality has dropped, electrical systems have many problems, and Toyotas have become more disposable in my view and according to five workshops I consulted... nothing like the Toyotas from 2015

What a rubbish comparison.
You take two comparable models with roughly the same engine, right?
There are plenty of those. A Frecale normally has fewer hp than a Levante, so why do a test like this.
That way you fail the test yourselves.
So dumb.....

This comparison falls completely flat — you're supposed to take two comparable models, aren't you? You pick a Porsche with 1,150 hp; that's ridiculous.

Seductive, efficient, full of torque, devastatingly quick (the Trofeo), comfortable, with splendid leather and carbon, magnificent and brilliant headlights — reserved for artists or demanding business leaders.
