    My biggest grip is still the motor. Stick a 20foot caravan on it and watch you fuel tanks be sucked dry like Elvis as attached...
    Petrols will never be any good for towing or torque heavy applications... Thus why we need a diesel...

    But it does ozze sophistication..

    I beg to differ, petrols are great for towing...... theyre just very thirsty that all!!!!! IMO anyone who can afford to by one isn't going to have a problem with affording to keep it fed

    Rented one for two weeks when I was in Qatar for work - very very nice, but dont give you the 'tough as a box of nails' feeling the older ones do.
    Course it didnt drive like a box of nails either, but you got that 'middle aged spread' thought like the 200 series LC
    Isnt the GU still going to be available alongside it?

    Had a look at one at Grand Nissan, Morphett Vale. Service guy I talked to had the same opinion regarding petrol consumption. I got the feeling they were not looking to sell a lot of these.

    I think that I will stick with my GQ, looks better and would handle off road stuff better as well

    Re: Had a new Y62 Patrol for a night

    Had 3 generations out together a couple of weekends back. Forgot to take a pic of all 3 together.

    I didn't drive the latest one, but it followed everywhere I went with the GU in the sand even though it was completely stock (but had a very experienced driver). There was a bit of teasing about it being a city car. At lunch it was fun comparing the rear bumpers of all 3 cars. That pretty much summed it up for me. We ate lunch while watching the split in the rear plastic bumper get stitched up with my cable ties.

    The power was awesome though. Watching it accelerate from a standing start put the 4800 to shame without doubt. I think the split bumper was probably because the spare tyre underneath pushed back on it. Suspension would be hard to lift/change as well.

    It's a great pic with them side by side ... Can see the height like you've mentioned, but also compare the ground clearance. Look at where the side step is on each of them.

    IMO they are just starting to make them like the American caddilac escalades etc, unless you have $$$ to throw away who will buy one and take it serious 4wding. I may be wrong just my opinion.
