Truck picture is a Euro, Theres more of those wearing Renault badges than Mack as they do in Australia..
I do agree, that I would feel safer in an SUV - but subtract the 7 seaters Imagine kids sitting in the back and something like that happens..
Either way Incredible she survived - not bad for a 10 year old budget car
