Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

IMHO, this one is going to give the Fortuner / Pajero Sport something to think about.
According to the launch article, it has a lot of "ISUZU DNA".

I like it!

Good looks. None of these bling big chrome chinese stuff like the latest appliance. Yuck!

I just hope that it comes out with normal size rims (17" or smaller)... not the 20" rims they talk about in the article!

That is a pity that as power increases, speed increases, so brakes get bigger, so rims bet bigger... But they don't seem to increase the overall wheel diameter, so tires get smaller

1. It's American/Asian, where they are not so obsessed with large brakes.
2. Most brakes fit inside an 18" rim, and there are decent off-road tyres available in 18"

There may be decent tires in 18", but they don't have a nice high sidewall for deflating.

265-65-18 gives a lot of (read 'enough') surface area when deflated.

So at best its an Isuzu...Pajero Sport Owners has nothing to think about.

Much of a copy of Audi Q5, Pajero Sport and Tuna

I really like the looks of the Chev and if it has low range and a good price bracket it will definately be something to consider between Tuna and Pajero Sport.

I just wonder how I will fit a steel bumper replacement and winch on that nose?
