4x4 Australia Car of the Year

**barney** · 8th January 2006, 09:17 PM

if your gonna lump the D3 and the RRS together for any reason, you may aswell lump the cherokee and the merc together aswell. both made by the quality deficient chrysley-daimler corp.
that ml320 of my wife's was the biggest, most unreliable P.O.S. i have ever come across. thank god she's now got the D2A.
* Alto LR has recently advertised base model D3's for $49k (so i'm told, i don't listen to commercial radio), that's only $1300 more than we paid for our D2A demonstrator/end of financial year/end of model runout/desperate to get rid of them back in june.
that sucks!

I agree noddy, i cant see the coil sprung D3 doing any well, that petrol V6 is a waiste of time. Matt

The candidates are as followed as listed by them

Pathfinder ST-L 2.5L TD4
L/Rover Discovery 4L V 6 Petrol
Range rover Sport 4.2L Supercharged petrol
Suzuki Grand Vitara
Nissan Pathfinder 4L V6 Petrol
Hyundai Terrican 2.9L TD4
Mercedes Benz ML 350 3.5L V6 Petrol
Grand Cherokee 3L TDV6
Range Rover Sport 2.7L TDV6
Mercedes Benz ML 320 CDI 3L TDV6

So we have 2 Pathfinders, 2 Mercs, 2 Range Rovers, and a couple of others that hardly make up the bulk of serious offroad 4WD's, I can handle RR's and L/R's, but where are the Prado's, Cruisers, Patrols, or even a Pajero. And to have 2 vehicles with different motors is a bit of a crock when trying to decide on a worthy candidate.

Ha Ha Ha

Gotta agree with Gazzz though - I reckon the Pathy will win.

Coz it's a Nissan and we all know they are the best !!

(unless there's a Toyota around).

:roll:

Well the line starts in Queensland, but by now it stretches the whole length of the Eastern Seaboard.
