I don’t think there’s a need to “most likely” there, never been one of these things that doesn’t handle & ride like a turd - regardless of price.

I saw this coming back in 2014 in the HSV Forum, there is definitely a niche market filled with ready buyers.
Beats me how a company can get exemption from various ADR approval to modify a Light Vehicle so far beyond factory spec and offer it for (re)sale nationally?
Sure $100k over the original price goes a long way to cover specific engineering exemptions, but just like the deaths and disasters fitting an LS into a Hilux over the years, the thing was crap before now is clearly a speedy death trap.

Id still rather a VF V8 ute. If i was wanting a 4WD i would buy a wagon over a ute any day. 130k i reckon I could buy a Trailhawk for that. Ute for me is a work bus. If i bought one of those id be too scared it would get scratched that i wouldn't use it for what its designed to be.
