Great Wall (Sales) Solid, But Territory a bit Sad ???

I was surprised to read that the much maligned Great Wall sold 10,000 units in their first 12 months in Oz. Outsold Colorado & Dmax in the last qtr. 50% higher
than expectations. The first update will include a better looking nose job & another grand off the single cab jobbies. Not bad for a car no one would buy.
On a sadder note I was alarmed to read a review of the much awaited Territory
Diesel. The poor tester was most perplexed to be rounded up by everything on the road at everything that resembled an incline, & nothing to do about it...a real
slug says he. But the love affair ended when ,after deciding to rest in
Gillards Gulch overnight, he limped into Canberra with 20km left on the fuel
computer & all lights flashing. Make Sydney easy on a tank the bloke told him in
Melbourne. Forget it ,he concludes..wait till they fit a real engine. Hmmmm.
cheers....oldbaz.
