Photo 4 hint - The brand has a lot to live up to, especially when compared to the events and actions 75 years ago.
In hindsight, this hint turned out to be a double edged sword. Obviously the hint refers back to the time of the second world war.
Sisu Polar has a striking visual resemblance to the Mercedes Benz Actros and Mercedes being German is equally subject to that time period.

The idea here was to hint at the Finnish word "Sisu" which is a very powerful positive word in Finland.
Better to read the wiki article than me explaining further: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu

One way to sum up the meaning of the word is to apply it to all the Finnish men and women fighting the Soviets in the second world war.

Photo 5 hint - What are you drinking? Oh wait, doesn't matter. Catpiss!
The photo didn't really help here. Still the same looks as the MB Actros.

To say cheers in Finland you say "kippis", i tend to say "kattpiss" (Swedish equivalent of Catpiss) whenever i raise my drink with a Finn.
I know, very far fetched hint... Couldn't refuse.

Photo 6 hint - Different chassis than the MB Actros...
Realizing the mix up in photo 4, i had to make clear that i wasn't looking for the Actros.
The photo would further confirm that.
