Do you believe Endeavour, Safari and Pajero to be Diesel Soft-roaders ?

The Hyundai Tuscon CRDI is brilliant for the segment its in, I wonder why it doesnt sell like the endy. Please let me know guys cos, I'm going to buy it.
Several reasons

- It does everything well but doesn't stand out in any one area. In your own comparison, the only place where you rated Tucson ahead of Endy is Engine, Interior and Handling. CRV is much better in all three areas. That implies if you throw CRV in this mix, Tucson won't be first in any area.

- People who have the money for Tucson usually spend a couple of lakhs more and buy either a Pajero or a CRV.

Also as far as Endy is concerned, get someone to sit on middle row and drive on a couple of speed breakers or bad roads and lets see if anyone would like to sit there.

You will find the Pajero brilliant if you can tolerate its interiors and its weird two seater middle row.
