I don't know what you mean by " style awards "
But any how Japanese trucks spread widely around the world and one strong reason for European trucks producers shrinkage in seventies and eighties of last centuries ..

Steve means that they are not exactly aesthetically pleasing to the eye (pretty) however you can bet that they are hardy trucks and very reliable which you would expect from Japan.

Hino trucks have been a favorite for a local company to me the last couple of years.
I remember they were a popular site truck years ago, then disappeared for a while. they seem to be back on the scene again......the prices must be right ;)
