Safari scores on the following points:
Safari is designed ground up as an suv whic reflects in its dimensions.
Space
Ride & Comfort
Comfortable cruising ability
Suspension
Engine power(stock 2.2- im sure Peted 2.2 would go to 180bhp)
Kit(goodies) for the price
Very good shoulder & elbow room for all occupants( read - not crammed)

Scorpio is more like an effort to make an suv out of carlike dimensions.
Its crammed for space.
Ride is BAD especially unladen with just driver/ 2 occupants.
Not composed on highways or rough roads.
Suspension is not confidence inspiring.
Engine power - is less than the Safari. (in stock form)
Poor shoulder & elbow room.

Since both vehicles are in various stages of continuous evolution the debate may never end.
