    One of the articles says that it won't reach 5 Star NCAP - will that prevent it being bought by miners? I thought that was a requirement now, and that's why Toyota upgraded the LC 70 single cab but not the other 70 series variants.

    That is correct, won’t be approved unless they can lift the rating.

    Pricing has been released.

    Don't think i will proceed with early order.

    Bit disappointing $84k for a two door commercial that has not even been in any media news right thru the journey.

    That will take 4 door wagon with a few options well north of $120k on road.

    Looks like i will stick with my 79 series order.
    Cheers

    That's problematic, because mining fleets would presumably have been a key market.

    There was this in The Age today:

    Dodging a safety rating by claiming to be low volume would appear to be a losing formula for a start-up that needs volume to survive.

    Via LinkedIn I found that the Head of Sales & Marketing here is an ex Sales Director of JLR !
    He was also the MD at Renault Australia...

    There are several other positions filled but a vacancy in NSW for a Regional Business Manager.


    At $84 K for a 2-door I don't think I'll be looking at one until it's 2nd, 3rd or 4th hand !

    Our mines don’t require a minimum NCAP rating.

    I can only think of one incident in the past 10 years that involved a LV….NCAP rating s wouldn’t it have changed the outcome.

    And we keep our LV’s way long than most.

    $84k sounds ok to me.....what will it be "competing" with on the market? Now check out the prices of any of it's competition......you won't get anything for $84k......and .....whatever you want to buy is now a 6-12mth wait......regardless of what you hear and see on the net.

    I have just been browsing new 4wd vehicles and current availability of new vehicles is quite poor and the dealers are "finding" stock in colours and trim that they couldn't sell in June.

    Is the $84K drive away?

    An LC 76 would be that or less drive away,they were actually $67K drive away 18months ago.

    But then you need to spend $10K on the suspension....and wait around 10months for the vehicle.
