Competition for the Fortuner?

Post by swifty »

Misubishi launched the new Pajero Sport, based on the Triton bakkie. It will be available in a 3.2L turbo diesel and a 3.5L V6 petrol.

Looks like a Q7 Audi with a different frotn end that has been resized!!!! :sick: :sick:
Only time will tell, maybe they also end up having some problems, however it might also depend on the pricing of the vehicle.

Not to bad looking, but I would rather buy a 4.0V6 Auto Fortuner and do a suspension and tyre upgrade!!!! :wink:

The whole front end of that Mits is ugly! But it would indeed be interesting to see how it fares against the Foretuner.

There is an article in the Community Forum regarding the 2009 Foretuner.
