I haven't been on this forum for ages, but thought it would be interesting to see the response to the announcement of the new Sandman's and really it's just confirmed why I'm not as active onsite anymore. It's great that everyone has an opinion, but that's it, it's just YOUR view. You don't have to convince everyone to think like minded. Personally I think, good luck to anyone who buys a new Sandman Ute, or Wagon. I bought my old one for the love of the car itself, not to tick any boxes and would consider, doing the same again if I could afford to. I bought my HZ Panel van at that time because it was more suited to my lifestyle rather than the ute and I preferred the look of them (different). So therefore probably for me the wagon would be the go. Yeah I would like a brighter colour option and yes maybe the larger "Sandman" decal on the back, but it's nice to see an iconic Australian name revisited and it's certainly brought all Sandmans back on to the discussion table!! Just love the old and the new for what they are, cool cars.
