*shrugs* could be wrong...

You're spot on.

New Territory also has new rear qtr's.

Those colours suit the Terry very well for what it is, I mean a bright yellow terry would just look plain wrong!

Hmmm, thank's for putting up the colour range, I allway's thought White would be the pick but I'm dying to see Chill and Smoke now.

[falcon convert]

Yeah, Smoke looks smokin'. Need to see it in the metal, but to me it looks like the pick of the palette.

There are a few "hero" colours like Bionic and Blood Orange examples getting about, but they look like backside.

That colour range is quite good.

In the meantime I've seen other makers models come and seemingly keep on coming taking sales away from Ford. Sorry I am Ford through and through but they are just too slow at bringing new stuff.

I agree. Its just taking them way to long to develop new products. They need to pick up the pace without losing quality.

Excellent. They need to launch this car with some real vigour. Get it out there with positive reviews before the new Captiva (which won't hold a candle to it) is launched with the usual GMHolden hyperbole.

Hehe that yellow Terri looks.......interesting. IMO, for some reason, brighter colours dont look as good on the FG as they did on the B series. The FG just seems to be...bigger looking? So brighter colours dont really go as well as its almost too much...? Now we have an example of an even bigger vehicle in a very bright colour...and i still think it doesn't work.

Sad that I'm quoting myself!!! But I've now see 2 bill boards in Sydney with the new territory is coming.

[BleedBlue]

Is it just me or does it look alot taller than the current model in the side shot (on the "New Territory" website)?

Looks brilliant, and should sell very well. I'm familiar with the engine, working at a Land Rover dealer. Shame they couldn't use the new 3 litre, but cost would have prohibited I'd imagine. If it comes with the same spec 145kw/440nm as it does in the discovery, it should go very well considering it will weigh close to 400kg less than a disco.

Have you been in any TDV6 engined vehicles which have had tuning done on them? The common figures are 170kW/530Nm. Some are saying 180kW/540Nm like the bottom graph on this link.

Hey mate, I've driven quite a few discos, mostly new or near new, so I very much doubt that any have been modified. The ones I did drive seemed to have fairly similar performance which was reasonable but in the lighter Territory I think will be excellent. I'm sure this motor when modified in a Territory will perform amazingly too.

[Nikked]

Has anyone popped the bonnet on one of these? I would like to know if things like the radiator support are carried over from the old BA based one, or if its has an FG based composite radiator support. Also, are the lights based of BA units with a new lense and reflector set up or FG based?

[Mechan1k]

Can't comment on the rad support.
But lights are neither B-series or FG ... they are very Mondeo-esque with projectors ... actually a lot sleeker really (better looking)
