Hmmm. The crosslander will be interesting... It seems to be a Romainian vehicle, and I think this thread is in the wrong folder.
It seems to a decent vehicle in direct competition with Rover. I think it will have a hard start-up similar to that of DaeWoo. The waranty will ultimate make or break the sales of the vehicle IMO. Americans are picky, and many may see drawback such as parts availability and unknown reliability issues. Just think of what the 19 year old guy at the parts store would say when you ask for a new air filter for a 2006 Crosslander, most of them have problems with my Toyota and I just tell them my part # as it is.
It definately has it pro's. But I also think it might be marketed to the wrong group, similar to the H2's, where most may never leave the road. It will also be interesting to hear what the Public will call it. My first thought was a Rover knock off, but I have to keep an open mind. It also seems a bit out dated for eye appeal (Boxy, no Carpet), however the price might appeal to others... looks like the tentative MSRP is from $17,865 to $22,300.
Notice the leak in the last one? Might not be a good thing to post up on a dealership website as their first one.
They seem to be marketing it for the off-road crowd, but yet they don't offer lockers? It would also be nice with a solid axle in the front.
