I have to say, the more off-roady it looks ... although once a nay-sayer .... it is starting to grow on me! especially with the 33" off-road tyres 8) hmmm..

I like the V8 at 626 hp part.
But yes the larger fender flares, higher ride hight and bigger tires add to it. Cabin still the same size. Starting at mid $170s pushing into the $190s and higher plus all those luxury taxes makes an upgrade to the OCTA tougher for those of us on a budget. Doesn’t hurt to dream.
