Re: Territory Turbo

Hmmm interesting. Not sure if diesels will sell well here just yet. I'd rather see a Turbo petrol motor (F6 engine) than a turbo diesel motor in a territory.

If petrol hits above $1.20/L (over $80 per tank) for good in metro areas I think the greater fuel economy superiority of a turbo diesel would quickly change that.

I totally agree. The strength of such an engine would also be a clear winner for reliability and longevity over the petrol counterpart.

Absolutely! Also, a diesel option will open up new markets for Territory, like:Early retirees that buy diesel SUVs to pull their caravans; the boat fraternity; rural folk etc.
