stupid dealers got to love them more :)

i think that a lot of automotive journos like a car that suits their needs and dont tend to look at other peoples perspectives. what i find funny is that for such a flawed car the territory has been outselling every other 4wd on the market for the last three months in wa. People buy a car for there needs and most people do a lot of research and its bad journalism like this that turns people off buying some cars when they show faults caused by driving a car outside what it is designed for.

they call them a softroader for a reason.

I suppose they don't break down either, they simply "fail to proceed" a la Rolls Royce!

Mcnamg, it just goes to show that most people don't need the full 4x4 ability (just like all the people who buy Foresters, X-Trails, etc).

Re the Terri's off-road ablilty, I think this bit from Territory (our man on the inside

) in the Fraser Island thread says volumes
