really? how about the Mercedes G-Wagon?


well, if Mercedes will let Isuzu to put the brand "Mercedes" on the Trooper, it will sell...

"Mercedes Trooper" would be a hot sell item !

Also, keep in mind how capable/powerful/etc the G-Wagen is. Let's be honest, Isuzu cannot do anything like that.

and the much-anticipated Cross Lander?


this vehicle does not exist.

And the lamest example of all...the Hummer?


this is special-purpose niche vehicle playing on the military/legacy tunes. On what phsyco field the boxy Trooper will play ?

Yeah, you're right...nobody wants a boxy SUV. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


that's right.

BTW, where did you get the $40K price tag?

Just looking at vehicles of the comparable size and features. $40K for a gas vehicle, $45-$50K for a diesel one.
