Thought it was going to be "Write up on the new Patrol" I just bought. Thought you are a lucky man Bob!!

I beg to differ from the article that most people will quit before they reach the cars offroad ability they have obviously not met the people from this forum. Even if o had that cash id still not buy one I'd rather spend it on a gu and put big shiny bells whistles and fruit on it

I agree

It looks like Great Wall of China

Glad I bought the GU8 and didn't wait for the new model.

85k for a Patrol. Are they kidding themselves or what. If i had 85k to blow on a car, it certainly would NOT be a Patrol.

Well I agree most people that buy it probably won't either. Who would buy a 4wd Independant suspension vehicle for real 4wding anyway. I don't reckon 99% will actually get off the road onto a dirt driveway let alone a real 4wd track.
Patrol is dead!! Long live the GQ and GU




Double Tap

yea if you did want on for offroad they will opt for the old model as they are selling it along side it

i also like this line,
"Nissan Australia managing director Bill Peffer says cumulative Patrol sales in Australia will top 100,000 next year, helped by the 14-year-old Y61. .....
i read that as 80% y61 and 20% 6gen

the new 6gen weights the same as my gu but i have a bullbar winch brushbar/sliders steel rear bar and cargo barrier full size roof rack... wait till ppl put that all on one of these wow

[Maxhead]

I want one! It looks great and will eat the Y61 and Y60 in any terrain.
Bring it on!!





........... On the move

It looks like a cruiser I like barn doors and my spare on them rather than underneath. I watched video they do a great job on the sand with that sweet motor but it needs a diesel model and I saw one doing a gully the front does not flex at all lifting wheels everywhere and dragging its big saggy arse everywhere

LOL

Sorry I just dont like it,
It is laughable that it has taken 2 years to get the 'new' patrol here. But then seeing it in the flesh at the motorshow, I can see why they were in no hurry to get it here :tongue:

[healy]

That is ugly some nice sounding features tho.

[Wine_maker]

It haven't anything interesting except new powerful engine.

[choppie]

It looks like a bloody Kluger ( wash my mouth out, with BEER )

[dumpy]

another car overpriced for the average man. why are there so many patrols on the road now because they are much cheaper than the cruiser, and not out of reach for many , why waste your money when the older models are the go.

[threedogs]

Thats a hell of a lot of plastic to cut off to fit a bullbar, brings tears to my eyes thinking about it.
I like but BIG, time will tell

[rowlund]

The Patrol is a really nice vehicle. Looks great on the outside and on the inside. The only little problem is that outside of cost, I think that it looks so good that most owners may not want to take it out to do what patrols are meant to do

[gaddy]

hook up the trailer head to fraser fuel on the island, any where up to $3 bucks a liter, V8 petrol !!!. buying the thing would be the cheep part , gray nomads towimg a van around $$$$$ in fuel , they all winge about the V8 cruiser now . just made the 4.2td gu even more valuable ,
