What I don't understand is how the 2WD can pass but the 4WD fails.

Not that it really matters because Toyota aren't going to sell a heap of them anyway.

Hmmm. Kluger story all gone now? Lets talk about something else why dont we!- Gotta love the way certain users Get off topic and spand 3 pages of quotes with personal comments/ arguments! :togo:

Their sales have already dropped off quite severly, and I'm guessing the trend will continue. They are also more likely to sell more FWD then the AWD models anyway.

You'll find the sales dropped off due to supply constraints. Order bank is still quite strong..

Now that to me tells me this bloke is a bloody fool.
From the pic in the magazine it looks as though he was driving on tarmac, then grass, then turned left to roll, at a lot less than 180km/hr

Maybe they either did some very good photoshopping or they set the car up for the photo
