the pajero CRZ, when launched, will be bang in the endeavour territory (costs leaning more towards the hurricane 4x4). but, at that price, the pajero is a good deal. in fact, it's a great deal... i would take the red triple-diamond over the blue oval any day... and plus, the paj has something that the endeavour will never have- unmatched off-roadability, great comfort, and that one other important thing- it's the only other SUV besides the safari that any indian 5-year old can recognise...HUGE pose and brand value...
oh, and did i forget to mention...it's a PAJERO...!!!! at 18 lacs, it should be quite a seller.. (well, at least it should outsell the endeavour- the paj sales had discontinued in the metros because it wasn't euro-III....another hindrance alongwith the hefty pricetag...at 23.5 lacs, you could get the terracan [on-road price, thane], which was much better value...and you get a mutha of an engine...)
