hey man, can you drive an ikon or a getz over broken roads at 100 kmph? i say so coz i've seen a lancer busting his strut trying to keep up with my safari (heh...heh..remember the ad-"never follow a safari driver-make your own road"; well, guess what, i make my own road!!!).
and hey, do you know of a certain lamborghini, which was, and still is, the only high performance SUV that boasted of 400 bhp+, 0-100 in about 6 secs, and top speed in excess of 240 kmph? yes, i'm referring to the big ol' lambo, the lm 007!!
and man, this is India, so i'd prefer a high performance (there's that term again
) SUV to a sedan anyday; the sedans just can't take the sort of abuse dished out by our roads, at least not at the speeds that i drive in!!
but yes, i would always have a sedan for my true performance needs, but as a second car!! in fact, i'm going in for one any time now....
and if i had to choose an SUV, i would buy the brabus or amg kitted merc ml 320, or 270 cdi; or maybe the bmw x5 3.0d or 4.0p;or the 5000cc v10 volkswagen touareg;or the porsche cayenne......
but until i have that sort of moolah, i'll have to make do with my safari, or the upcoming crd-i, or the fortuner......
and manson, if the engine is the only reason you bought the scorpio, (i know, the existing safari's engine's a little sluggish, to say the least...!!!) you might want to check out the upcoming new safari, with the 3.0 crd-i engine; trust me, i believe it's well worth the wait,(well, i'm waiting for it anyways) and the moolah.
