Getting Around Australia

Imagine a world where Isuzus still zoom down the highways, passed by the occasional Peugeot. Congratulations — you’re picturing Australia. Isuzu and Peugeot may have pulled out of The United States, but they stuck around The Land Down Under. They face stiff competition, though, from some States stalwarts, like Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Nissan. They say NIH-sun, though, not NEE-sahn. And their Nissan Rogues go by the name X-Trail.

For a lot of cars, you know the make but not the model. Kia Picanto? Toyota HiAce? Jhett’s Suzuki Jimny? I find it strange that different models sell in different markets.
