The Prado's engine even makes less power than a 2.0-litre four-cylinder BMW diesel. The only reason to buy the Prado would be if you want a capable off-road vehicle, or outback tourer. And then you'd be better off with a base or mid-spec so you could kit it out with aftermarket stuff without going over the GVM.

yeah thats what i thought when i looked at it. would kick the x's but off road but on road it wouldnt come close. the top of range is very well equipped but the finnish was gross. i actually preffered the middle range finnishes. one thing i was impressed with was all 3 rows have electronic adjustable seats. but that was as impressed as i got.
will be interested to see what the new vw/porsche SUV is like. would probably be the only other brand i would look at, unless you like the size of the q7.
