I was referring more to PG’s question of ‘best towing car’ and your immediate response to it...not so much the article you linked to. Essentially the response to the question is dependent on context - like where in the world the reader comes from...

So is it the UK, Europe and even Oz that’s out of context here...or the US?

One answer to that question could be “...conducting a police action to protect the Vietna...Syrians from the Communi...terrorists. Oh and to Hell with the UN. Who’s with me, comrades?”

The answer in Europe (and perhaps most other markets) might be a Z CUV. Especially if it can be platform shopped across brands..

Except of course they are building it...[sheesh!]. Oh well. At least it’ll be coming to Oz next year too http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.…

Loved the cargo barrier ‘windscreen’ in some of the later stunts...

That might’ve happened but now that the Nissan side of the business is supplying the basis of the new Mercedes-Benz trucklet via a Navara platform share...I can’t see the Renault version going ahead

Google ‘Amarok’

Bentley...because they already do a range of big fat over powered expensive luxury cars and limo’s. Sounds like a perfect CV for the developing bespoke luxo truck market.

And it’s not even an SUV if one of the precursors for this niche is AWD. Cactus is 2WD only.

Plenty of excellent surf breaks in France especially Brittany and the Atlanic coastline down towards Spain

The word you might be looking for is ‘assembled’

I predict that this will suffer the same fate as the Holden Crewman.

The global Ranger is actually ‘small’, at least in terms of how I understand US portion sizes. Some versions do come with a 2.2 litre engine after all. It’s just that in most iterations, it has a bloated body with a lot of kit added in.

J-lux. Because J comes after ‘Hi’ and might even blow it up then run it over on its way past...

So Americans want something only a little bit smaller than a F-150 that costs much the same? Really???

Forgive me if I smirk a little about how ridiculous this statement seems to me.

Nice job...

I’d go with the slightly sexier talking horse.

Far from it. Mainly because US soldiers are not my concern.
