Just thought some of you might be interested in looking at this:

http://www.crosslander4x4.com/

 

Looks like a capable off roader with it's turbo diesel producing 355 NM of torque. A far cry from some of the luxo-utes that we have become accustomed to in the last few years. It's refreshing to see a take its 4x4 design "back to the roots."

I am however curious to see just what JD Power and his gang will have to say about the crosslander and consumer satisfaction/reliability after a year on the market. If it's anything like the Landrover Defender in many aspects, I shouldn't imagine it will fare all that well on the said ratings.
