Our rear-wheel-drive test vehicle didn't have the extra weight of the four-wheel-drive system, but it still weighed more than two-and-a-half tons (5274 pounds).

Why would you dount that?
How much do you think all the other supermega suvs weigh?
The V10 Excursion is north of 6000 lbs, iirc.

Your sedan isn't sporty if it's doing 0-60 in over 7 seconds.

yeah, that's normal. you get a launch--it's almost like cheating.
Rolling starts (5-60) are more like a real-world assesment.

Huh.. Really?

I would have assumed that starting from 5MPH would always yield faster times.. I mean, wouldn't that be "cheating" more than from a stop?

Couldn't you "launch" just like you would from a standstill, except you would have a +5mph headstart?

Seems it's getting positive reviews left and right. This could sell well if people like the styling. I don't like it in pictures, but who knows what the general public will think.

dayum i'm wrong then....my parents bought a 2003 4runner...it does the 1/4 mile under 16 seconds too.....

it has a V8 but i cant believe a 2 ton+ machine could do it

it has less hp than the armada too

 

[sman789]

and i also thought japanese automakers don't go that heavy for consumer vehicles

Uhm..why are you comparing an AMG MB to a Nissan? Why not compare that to an fx45?
