Commerical time: Try the Sambar!

It may sound weird but this is the only X60/X70/X80/X90 I was able to photograph… I spotted many many on the roads around Jayapura but every time either the van or the car was driving too quick to photograph. On our way from Jayapura to lake Sentani we drove behind a white Toyota Mark II…
