I have been looking in the last few weeks at replacing my SR5 Hilux at end of finance mid next year. Nothing out there is better value than a Falcon ute at the moment. Under $32k driveaway for an XR6 ute. Anything else that comes close is a low spec piece of junk 4cyl diesel made in Thailand. Even at runout for a 2012 plate Nissan want $60k for an ST-X 550, plus they won't sell the good V6 engine in a single cab. Toyota is the same, you can't get the top spec V6 engine in a single cab.
I'll hang out until the XR8 is re-released late next year I think, but if they'll build me an XR6 turbo auto with 3/4 tonne or 1tonne suspension (so I can tow with it) for the right money I might be tempted early-mid next year. Otherwise i'll hang out for the XR8 or even consider an XR6 with LPI engine.
