It seems everyone's getting in on the 'cross-over' 4x4 market. It'll be a hard decision between the LRX and this, as they're both due out next year... (and dare I say it, this is Japanese - 'nuff said)
Yet to be named, it's due to be premiered at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. I'm waiting for my invite (I could be waiting some time...)
You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.
