Both safari & scorpio have the same ladder frame chassis design... so which one is old. either both are old and outdated or both are modern?

Safari Positive points:
Great space.
Great cruiser.
Great engine.

Safari Negative points.
Boat like handling.
Old chassis that simply shows its age.
Lot of uneven tyre wear >> Not anymore my friend - to the best of my knowledge that was the bane of the old version sumo & safari. the problem has been sorted long ago.
Rubber and plastic parts needs improvement.


Scorpio Positive Points:
Good for city use.
Better built.
Modern Chassis >> in what way is it modern? ( though handling is poor)
Price.

Scorpio Negative points:
Handling is worst than Titanic.(that means its worse than a boat - read Safari)
Its way too much cramped.

Eventually Scorpio wins because of mainly price(the price of the safari 2.2 is cheaper than the 2.2 scorpio) and better or rather more solid built. Plus its great or much better than Safari in the city. Both of them are boats as far as handling is considered.
My views are in bold.
