Thread: New 2010 Patrol

haha they can keep that ..

Look at the plastics on it !!!!

It would'nt matter how "blingy" they get, I know I'll never buy one.

Looks like the offspring from a Pajero & prado mating.

Looks like a 200LC gone wrong....

I wonder if they have learnt what TC & constant 4WD is?

The current Patrol I reckon doesn't look too bad - in fact, if it'd be my next choice after a Land Rover. But that new design looks like the love-child of a Nissan Patrol and a Toyota Land Cruiser 200...

I believe that it will have it all ?
Might be too soft but I will reserve judgement untill I see it.

I really like the current model with the big six petrol engine !!
245 HP, double overhead cam, 5 speed auto, cruise control and powerful and strong.
It also doesn't use much more fuel than my V8 Disco, not that I care about economy anyway. I believe it gets thirsty if you flog it in sand.
Most owners are getting 18-19 lts per 100 on the highway.
With proper servicing, they are getting over 500,000 k's without any problems. As well as that they look damb nice.

It would be the next best thing to getting a brand new D1 V8 auto.

I am a bit set in my ways. I dont want or need all these electrical aids and doo hickeys, to get me out and about. Never had them and never needed them. Learn to drive in the bush is what you need to do !!!
Getting out and taking pics while the vehicle drives itself up or down a
steep incline is just crap and doesn't make anyone a 4x4 driver.
Today, men are softies and need these soft suv's to take them about.
Apart from mine, when was the last time you saw a 4x4 with an axe on board ?
For the past 50 years my camp has been lit by a kerosine lantern, why
change ?
I'm not too fond of these days.
Cheers.
