Nope, definitely dont like the look of that one.

Notice the wording :- "The car will reportedly be stepping up its game to compete with the Toyota Land Cruiser, which includes offering a petrol V8 engine as well as a 3.0L V6 diesel engine."

The interior looks nice. Hard to believe that they are also thinking about releasing a V8 Petrol model when some car manufacturers are thinking about going towards the hybrids.

WTF, what 4wd maunfactures are going Hybrids:confused: Toyota has a V8 Petrol in it's range. Not my choice but the V6 Turbo 3ltr Diesel sounds the go but interested on it fuel consumption noting power and torque figures.....

I read somewhere the other day that might try and do a hybrid 4'by. Not sure how this would go though.Currently i think hybrid's are only done as sedan's.

I believe it will be similar to the Pathfinder, so no more live axels......I think I did well and bought my 2006 4.2TDi Patrol when I did.......The dinosaur might be worth something......hehehehe

In all honesty Hybrids are no good for the 4wd market. I think SUV's will miss this phase and go straight to Hydrogen. Well, that's my guess anyway....;)

Why do you think that? Is it because they lack in power compared to an ordinary 4'by?

Not power, lack of torque for 4wding and towing.......
