I don't know about you guy's, but I am becoming frustrated with new vehicles and where they are apparently going in terms of design.
A couple of days ago I had a look at the new Prado and had no doubts from what I've read, that it's off road ability will be quite good.
My problem is their useability (not just the Prado). For Instance:

Cargo area is usually plastic, meaning that a fridge side can't be secured to the floor.
Most vehicles coming out now don't have a provision for a any form of two way radio in the dash board.
Seating arrangements don't allow enough room to sleep in the back.
Apart from the big fellows (Toyoto 100 and Nissen) it's becoming a struggle to find space for a second battery.
Lack of drivers height seat adjustment unless you purchase the top of the range model.
Decisions by companies to exclude important item such as the new Prado's Down Assist Control (PDA) from all but the Toorak set model.
I would be Interested to hear your point of view, because, as I said at the beginning of this e-mail, it is really starting to become frustrating.
