Santana comes back?

Regarding the well-known German car magszine "auto-motor-sport" it is planned to bring back the Santana brand with a new rugged 4x4.

Santana build Land Rovers and later Suzuki 4x4s under license. Santana was owned by Iveco the last days and sold the Iveco Massif, a capable 4x4 and a further development of the Land Rover Series 3. Some kind of mixture between a Series and a Defender.

The new Santana is backed by a Chinese joint venture Zhengzhou Nissan.

A 4x4 and a pick up is planned.

I had a Massif in companion in the desert once. It did very well.

after reading.... I agree completely. Most people just get a double cab like a Ranger or Hilux when they reach the £30,000+VAT level. They're real 4x4s that are useful and still comfortable. Even if you pay VAT on your own, you can still obtain a good, no-frills truck for about £40,000.
