Comment
Could this be what’s needed to kickstart Y62 sales, albeit rather late in the car’s lifecycle? Enthusiasts who drive Y61 Patrols have never loved the Y62’s size, petrol engine or independent suspension but for all that, our review found it is not a bad vehicle at all, and one with significant capability. And at $20k+ cheaper it becomes something of a bargain, so if you were in the market for a 4WD wagon and didn’t have the Y62 on your list it is now time to reconsider. The only people who have lost our are those who just bought a Y62…but our information is that nobody was paying close to sticker price anyway.
