    Dont know what other peoples feelings are on this, but I am a bit dissapointed. I really like the latest GU's but that looks a bit like a 200 series at the front and a Pajero at the back.

    Not really a fan.

    I would have said an X-trail of steroids.

    Looks like Nissan is following Toyota in making their soft-roader and 4WD range all look very similar, just get bigger.

    I wonder if they will bring out a 2 door again in Australia.

    I was about to say yeah, but the RRS is fast.


    But actually, thats got a 350 Nissan V8 in it. I'd love to know what the power outputs are. Knowing Nissan it'll be either 150kw or 205kw(meaning 350kw under the Japanese power output conventions), probably the former.

    At least it looks like they've stepped up to the plate with the Petrol and also kept the front axle.
    Cheers

    I don't like the treatment of the rear window but overall it's better looking than the GU. It's quite bland though, very anonymous. Given the amount of time they've had to develop it they could've come up with a more striking design.

    My 14 year old P38A looks better!

    I thought only Toyota could make ugly Japanese cars.

    Oh, hang on, there is the current Mitsubishi Triton.

    Actually there is one **really** big ugly stick that all the Jap companies share. It looked for a while as though Subaru had possession and weren't giving it up but clearly it's now found its way to Nissan.

    The Jap ugly stick has nothing on the Korean one that Ssangyong have a firm grasp on. I still don't know how there can be a company soooooo big, yet nobody in there dared to say - dang that looks like a POS.

    Well that might explain the trouble they are in..

    SsangYong in financial trouble Reports suggest that South Korean car maker SsangYong is in trouble and unable to pay workers' salaries.

    Whilst almost every other car manufacturer worldwide has reported difficulties and falling sales, this is the first time employees have not been paid.

    A letter to staff read, "The company is expected to post a deficit of more than W100 billion (US$1=W1,292) this year alone."

    At current English pounds, this equates to a debt of around ?50 million.

    It continued, "Due to lack of operating funds for December, it is impossible for the company to pay salaries any longer."

    SsangYong is Korean's smallest car maker and is owned by China's Shanghai Automotive (SAIC) group.

    A request to SAIC for funds is believed to have been turned down, after union members called for Chinese executives to resign.

    The company has undertaken a series of emergency measures recently in a bid to curb losses.

    SsangYong's dealership network in Korea has shrunk from 237 to around 180, whilst all plants have been idled for three weeks.
