Well, I just called a dealer. I won't name names in order to protect the innocent. This dealer is one of that area's biggest dealers of new cars and also happens to sell Jeeps (just as a reference point). I asked to speak to someone who could tell me about the Crosslander and the receptionist knew exactly what I was talking about (or pretended to) and she forwarded me to a sales rep who made it clear he for sure knew what I was talking about. He was very interested in talking to me but was appologetic because quite frankly they haven't been given ANY information. He said he didn't even have a picture of one yet. He said "if you've been to the web, you know as much as we do". He added that they were all very interested to see this vehicle but that the last they heard it would be "the first of the year" before any landed in the states. He even went to the Sales Manager and asked just to see if he had gotten anything in the last couple of days. I'm on the guy's mailing list, he said he would send a pamphlet or whatever as soon as he got one.
That being said, why hasn't Crosslander or whatever their name is made a bit more of an effort to launch these if they are really due to hit our shores in the next 2 months?
