not everyone wants to use their 4 to pick up Jemima from college, and then get a latte afterwards. heck, they have heaps to choose from.

no, but 80+% of sales do... and thats what controls what happens to cars in design.. 10,000 people on here could all pleade with Yota nissan etc it would do NOTHING

truckster - in response to "make do with what you have... ".
Well, I think we may have to protect what we have, lest it dwindles away, like it has been

You think that Toyota looks at the figures of sales see that 9999 out of 10,000 sell to mums, they will change tact? Think about it...

I'm with Schevchenko,
Maybe, just MAYBE with the introduction of all this soft-road crap the real 4WDs might start becoming tougher again.

It will be the opposite... It will be softer.. How will more softroaders make things hard road again?
People are after comfort, and cupholders, not coil
suspension and lockers... Look at the market sales figures...
The market is exploding in SOFTROADERS... not real 4x4's.
We all wish that it would go hard again, but it wont.
