........In contrast, Holden was consistent with the Captiva. But this time they overcorrected, sticking with the same model and trying to keep it fresh for 12 long years.
The Ford Territory had a similarly long run, but it was a more impressive vehicle that was designed and engineered specifically for Australia.
Dodged a bullet with this.
Missus didn't want a V8 Calais wagon ....... too big
...... anyway.
Looked at a Captiva, I didn't like the overall look of it, and the sales chick couldn't explain the AWD, nor the satnav (non-existent) updates. Her attitude seemed to be if we wanted one, we would buy it, if we didn't, well ... so what.
By this time the SY2 Territory had the front suspension problems solved, was better looking and the Barra engine was bullet proof. The Ford sales guy was enthusiastic, agreed to our drive away offer that was less than RRP, and complimented me on my choice of a Monaro ................. no contest.
