But yeah the terry would be a good option. My brother is doing Exactly what you mentioned......looked at this but they're looking at Terri's instead.(klugers and prados fell of the list ages ago because of how bland they are,amoung other things mentioned here) Last edited by 1TUFFUTE; 17-11-2014 at 07:03 PM. |

whinge whinge...if the territory got and update it would have looked basically the same. Just be happy that we still have Australians designing and engineering vehicles for us.

Anyone else think it's a pity they are not keeping the Territory name?
They could make it "Territory Edge" and "Territory Everest" Apparently the Territory name still has good brand recognition. Holden have Captiva 5 and Captiva 7, Toyota have Landcruiser Prado, Landcruiser 70 and Landcruiser 200.... Edit: Stupid having a badge saying it has a 6 Speed auto....might as well have a badge listing that it has suspension. |

Everest is a recognized name in the rest of its (much larger) markets.

Drove a Colorado 7 today...the Everest's enemy...fare to say that the Colorado looses out here...sluggish, noisy engine, horrible suspension and the god awful interior.
Still want to say the Everest interior is "old and ugly"

A mate of mine test drove Colorado and Ranger back to back last weekend. I was just a rear passenger and obviously have a bias towards Ford, but the ride in the Colorado was really terrible. If you have any love for your children or friends, never buy the Holden. There was zero comfort and the riding over bumps gave my middle aged back jolts that was actually very painful. Very Agricultural.

Ford spent 1.2B on T6 Ranger. Considerably less than GM did on Colorado, but not less than half.

And the "new" Colorado due for release is a minor revision...not an all new product.

What the hell do they have to show for 2bill. Hopefully that's amortized over the whole generation and not up front.

When I'm due for an upgrade the Everest is on the list. As long as it can tow a caravan , keep the wife and kids quiet happy as.
