Default Re: Post 2017 - Predict the future - What car(s) will you actually BUY?

Very interesting "smoko table discussion subject".

I'd like to predict I'll still have my old '82 Celica...obviously with some modifications by then.
Our "main car" at the moment is a car that suits our purposes extremely well. It's a mid-2011 Triton twin cab 4x4. It would be perfectly possible to just keep on trucking with that thing for years to come, barring some catastrophic mechanical failure. It would only be six years old in 2017.

However, say we needed something else, it would, at all my predictions, be another twin cab 4x4 diesel auto. Undoubtedly turbo diesels will just get better and better and more efficient.
I'd probably do what we did this time...pick something a year or two old with plenty of warranty left. Potentially a Ford Ranger as I like the look of them, but definitely second hand, as new prices on them are just about as ridiculous as Hilux's ludicrous prices under the "Toyota Tax"...second hand is the only way to go.

Taxis? Around Rocky I mostly see bloody Prius taxis, people movers, and hybrid Camrys.
