Default No, not the States...

...Papua New Guinea...Gods own testing ground for the toughest vehicles ever made (Humvee included!).
Like I said, I already had my mind set on the Safari, but would have HATED to have gone in 'blind', so have checked out the Scorpio (seriously lacking in 2nd row leg room!!), the Tucson (lovely finish, and a meticulous eye for detail - but a huge lag between gears!!), the Ford Endevour (an absolute disgrace as an SUV...Ford's tried it's best to keep the Endevour cost competitive, thus sacrificing power (a s[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]acrilege[/SIZE][/FONT]!) and ALL other minor bells and whistles one might expect in an 18 lac car!!)
The Dicor has it all....along with it's traditional lapses - POOR interiors and finish, tendency for flaws to start appearing after the first few KM's, poor power in the low rev band-width (makes one familiar with the smell of burning clutch!!)
Er, just reading this, am wondering if I am actually nuts to go in for the Dicor!!!
