Hmm don't know either. I think it makes Ssanyyong look classy

I recon it's the other way around, a Ssangyyong makes an AU look good or even a Crysler Neon.

I dont think they are that bad looking, kinda like a LR though as they look like they are built to work rather than to look good above all other things.

Great approach angle but I recon it wont have bugger all front articulation.

Im going to have a bit better look at it at some stage as where in the market for a new ute for work in April.

I reckon those Ssangyyoonnggss make everything look classy... even a Trabant. Obviously their designer works with crayons.

Speaking of tractors, Mahindra have been marketing significantly to the rural market.

IIRC the old KB Izuzu had this setup, maybe early Rodeo too?

The approach angle would want to be good - you'd have to hit everything square-on with that layout, IFS at the front and ute springs out back.

Oh and






Ow my back

I'm sure 4wd monthly did a reveiw of these just recenetly unfortunately i can't find it. I think it ended in saying that they should be popular with farmers owing to their headroom.(no need to take the akubra off) They do have good low range gearing though and the engine is only 79kw so fully loaded they'd be a bit of a slug. Build quality looks pretty reasonable though then again anything looks reasonable compared to some landrovers.

Look I know you were only joking but this is why I hate it when people chop up my posts and quote them, yes I wrote that but it wasnt meant like that as you would understand after you read what followed it.

What was meant was that it looks like it is built to work e.g. like a LandRover and not just to look pretty e.g. Like a Toyota lol

Also we once had an Isuzu KB40 ute on the farm, the oldman bought it new after he sold his 2a to his mate that I bought it back off about 8 years later and it was really crap off road and we used to chop out CV's something cronic which were extremely pricey to replace.
