Why not a Mitsubishi Challenger?
The motor is good, it has a rear diff lock.
I am quite impressed with the idea of them. More so than the Colorado as it IMHO is not so 'overstyled'
oh and they are abit cheaper too seeing they have been out for quite a while and there are plenty of 2012 stock around.

There's something a little SSangYong about the styling. That's not a good thing.
looking at the C7 atm...seem solid and well priced.
it might be worth the wait to see what Isuzu does with thier new model....
I have seen them on 4wd tv and it seems the only way to drive them off road. Is um FLAT OUT
IMHO a Peugeot SUV it is a typical example how the Europeans can finishing with a better vehicle than the japs using the same basic chassisQuote:

I doubt it.
In the "cash for comments" affair a few years back, John Laws was done for passing off advertisements for his views and as a result then had to ring a bell when he was doing an ad that could be taken for his views. I wonder why this doesn't apply to 4wd presenters? For sure most of us are aware of what is going on but some people may actually think these 4wd presenters are actually giving their own views - no different to Johny Laws.

Jeez really for $55,000 you can get a fabulous D3, which cacks all over anything.
Holden service and stuff is all over the country.
I wouldn't rate Holden "Service" a damn.. our company had the misfortune to purchase a 2010 Captiva as a company car for the rep.. no end of trouble but the kicker was $2.5K quote from Holden to change a leaking radiator hose, one CV Boot and two control arm bushes + an additional $95 to adjust the handbrake 1 week after a major service!! Ended up getting it all done by a mobile mob for less that $800.00 using all genuine parts... Seems this is the way that Holden figure on digging the company out of debt.. I remember reading somewhere that with all of the government subsidies offered to the Australian Car Industry, for every new Commodore sold in Australia, the Australian Taxpayer contributes around $3500 to the sale..
Also the electrical components used on these badge engineered Korean imports make Lucas look like Thomas Edison!! No end of grief!! Your Kerosene lantern might be a good retrofit option if you go down this line..
Stick with the Landy.. you know you want to...
