It's going to be called the TX 4, and it's going to be f***ing expensive. :wink:

It will be obsolete before its on the road, Mathew Cheyne, has said that they cannot fit ABS and still have the turning circle, also the Gov may insist on all new vehicles having electronic stability breaking fitted as standard, What will Red Ken do then,This could be a way of getting the cabs drivers want, and confine the turning circle to history.there is no need for it anymore safety come first.

Its in Mann and Overton's now.

I had a look today, very impressive, a lot more room under the bonnet to work with, more leg room as well for the taller driver.

Time will tell with regards its performance.

Like the see through passenger head restraints.

Important safety feature in a rear end shunt, even at low speed.

Wasn't the TX2 launched with a similiar accolade? I'm wondering how these Pakistanis are going to be able to afford these 30 grand vehicles? lol

Anyone got any ideas?

JD,

I tend to think your remark is aimed at where LTI will be building the vehicle....but considering the number of posts which are pointing towards the sad issue of race, please confirm (and by the way its China aint it :wink: )

I thought they were making them there, perhaps thats where they'll put the call centre (if in the unlikely event of the TX failing to live up to its expectations :wink: )

I think Pakistanis live in Pakistan aswell :D
