As soon as you started talking about Nissan I knew you were talking about the ubiquitous white bakkie. I moved to South Africa from the US and they're indeed everywhere, though unfortunately discontinued now I think. Seems like the bloated American abominations are becoming more common here as well.

Ja, you get it, ne?

Best as I can tell, the lackluster NP200, which looks like a Champ without the character, the Mahindra pickup, and the small Ford Ranger pickup, are filling the gap. Might not be the worst thing - the Nissan NP300 bakkies are apparently terrible for accidents. Still, not everything has to look like a Hilux!
