Anyone else thinks it sort of looks like a Territory?

Only around the headlights.

That front end looks more like a Pokemon with it's mouth open.

Yes the headlights look "like" a new Territory which in turn look "like" the new Rangie.

Anyway I'd have one....

things like this tell me that car companies have nothing to do with car enthusiasts, but only bean counters and $$$$

How so ?

Very Very nice but unfortunately will be way out of our price range

Whats the point of it? It is not a sports or touring car, it is not a luxury limosine, it is not an offroad vehicle. It fits a market that was created by people with the idea of making money, ie SUV etc. When 4x4s became more civilised, more and more started to appear in cities, for no good reason. So for all the **** that goes along with this, the above linked car will be very good at not being very good at one field.

for the money there are many better cars or offroaders.

How many that own this will take them off the front lawn, and if not why waste that $$$ in R&D, build etc, that could have been put in to a better car.

It's not a waste of money as far as teh company is concerned. They don't care, or expect, that it will be taken off road. I'll bet almost none ever will be.

Think of it more as a station wagon / family people mover / replacement for the old "flying brakes" of yesteryear.

I don't think there will be too much compromise involved I doubt much 'off road" capability will be included. Think Porsche Cayenne.

The fact is that its money well spent as they will make $$$ from the excercise - which of course is what business is all about.
