Brother in law's new car!!

Pity he didnt get to read the latest 4x4 Australia mag,he might have got a Lexus or something.
Offroad it didnt do much better than the $35k Japanese softroaders.
For that kind of money you could buy a performance car that would outrun it on the road and a offroader that will out perform in the bush/greenlanes.

Of course if you want the badge on the bonnet thats what it costs.

Would you believe he manufactures and retails pine furniture.

you always seem to poo poo people who buy something expensive...

If i had my house paid off, and $100,000, or my company had the spare cash flow, i would, without questioning myself, buy a porsche cayenne....

Life is too short not to enjoy it, and if you have the cash, get the toys i say :)

Steve. but you could never do in a poorsche what you can in a GU or Playdoe..

Also you wont ever pay ya house off, AND have $100k in the bank...

Why without question? impractical car if I ever saw one! bleep Id buy 3 playdoes first, set one up as a hack, one for touring, and one for weekdays...

I would comfortably take a Porsche Cayanne up the cape.....

and if i owned the house, had a spare $4k a month turnover to blow on a lease, porsche here we come.

Practical? Who cares..... Comfort and speed... thats all that matters.

Could I ship my LX470 over and exchange it for one?Bob

Hi Bruce & all

What's the VW V10 TD priced at in US?

That at least has a real motor in it.. imagine grafting a V10 into a Patrol or an 80 series and burn some rubber in 4WD mode..hellishly awesome...

Wil

The v10 TD is not available in the US, this is the most expensive version, has six speed transmission.

It has not sold well here,

A point to remember is that here in the US we can't get ANY diesel cars or 4WD's

No Nissan, Toyota, MB, Disco, BMW etc, the only diesels we can get are in the Chevy, Ford and Dodge truck ranges of pickups.
