Its a nice SUV, saw a couple in Dubai, the taillights look good lit at night. The only problem is they wont have an option for a 6 speed manual gearbox. Its a 7speed.

From what i read so far, they made no mention of a diesel engine. If holds true.
I think it will hurt their sales, especially in Europe with their love for diesels. And people just loved to tune the ol' Turbo Diesel models.

this is why the Patrol is so popular round these parts.

Edit- you might want to turn audio off.

I prefer the new QX56 and starting at mid $50s you almost can't beat it:

It looks a bit like a van with regular doors.. Not to say that it is bad, but it seems like a lot of SUV's are becoming 4 door vans styling wise, but luckly they have ground clearance and more power, making them actually good for some fun.
