When I looked at the Colorado before the purchase of the BT50 the main reason we didn't buy it was the noise, mainly at idle and the boring dash and lack of sat nav etc. I never minded the look of it so now they have fixed the things that should have been sorted at launch it will be worth another look. However @Soaring does say the new Ranger will be a cracker.

Actually it was the Everest I mentioned will be a cracker. The Ranger based SUV.
With the new pathfinder going backwards, the Everest won't have much competition. I just hope that doesn't blow out the pricing.

how could they blow out the pricing - Ford has already told us it is sooooo much cheaper to build anything overseas, so it will be a bargain.. :)

In the next 18 months or so I will be looking at drive in/out to work, and will be looking for a dual cab 4X4, something that will tow the Expanda as well. Think I will definately be spoilt for choice!!! I was looking at Amarok, Ranger and BT-50, but this may be a game changer...

, no idea if we will ever see them here but they look the goods that's for sure. Does the collie still have the engine Jeep discarded back in '09 ?

The Edge is a Ford North American product imported into China, not yet made there.
If you were to read the tea leaves, they would probably tell you that after the Australia operations close, we would need a 7 seat soft roader to fill the void left by territory.

I think your auto correct changed Terri to collie, but the Terri diesel is the old LR Disco motor. Unfortunately the 3.0 twin turbo V6 from the disco 4 would not fit under the bonnet if an engine bay designed for a straight 6. In saying that, the 2.7 V6 still meets euro 5 emission stds, and does a bloody good job in the lighter Terri body. I'm getting under 15lt/100 towing.

@Soaring no I know the Terri motor is fine and where it comes from, I almost bought one. I was reading somewhere (can't find it again) that the old Jeep motor is what is in the Colarado, not that I could see a problem with it, it just sounded unusual being and Isuzu vehicle?
