Cabovers

no no this is european model which comes today in public , but it is interesting to see that brazilian model already get new dashboard in october 2011, usually things come on market much earlier in europe ....and brazilian models are based on old european which are already out of production

 

Yea, nice truck this Iveco!
I can't believe they didn't put Alcoa polished aluminum rims on this truck. This steel painted black rims look lame!

I still think that the new MB Actros looks a hell of allot better than this!
Sure, I don't doubt that the MB is allot more expensive than the Iveco, but it looks like it's a better put together truck and I trust the Germans more then I trust the Italians.

The Italians should stick with building fast cars and quit trying to impress the world with their trucks. I've never seen a good looking FIAT/IVECO truck!

 

Only considering the looks of the Euro COE trucks, going from best looking to the least, in my opinion it goes something like this:
Well Scania and the MB Acrtros are really hard to decide which goes first.........but for the sakes of it....:

MB Actros (the new one)
Scania R
MAN TGX
Volvo FH
DAF XF 105
Renault
Iveco

Well, Iveco fans please don't get disheartened! I still think that the Iveco is a better looking COE then the Freightliner Argosy.

NA COE's have got their charm too,they look brutal like an locomotive and not every child or women can drive them in fact not every men can

 

Wow! You can write your company name immediately under the windscreen.......ain't that something???
My! My!

 

"brutal" is right!

 

The Aussies did a good job making the F Argosy look respectable from the front, but it still it looks like crap from the side......all though I like those square/rectangular wall fuel tanks allot better then the cylindrical ones.

There hasn't been a good Iveco since the old v8 turbo stars of the 80's, they could motor, I've been in a few recent model ones, of you adore cheap plastic, poor quality this is the truck for you! Such rubbish, but they do sell alot of them the main reason is there's a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty, that is a big help! Downtime is the killer with these however the interior does look much improved with this one

 

I used to drive new Iveco twice, the last time on show in Lugansk. Really it is good

Argosy, old, new.... really it is a shaker. All cab internals Argoy shares with S/T including vintage dashboard. Quality of cab plastic is the same like early 2000-s S/T.

It is really surprize for me why not to use Actros MP2 cab on this chassis.... And I really hate Renault Magnum style entrance.
