I posted this under Techies corner, then realised it probably had broader interest, so here it is again.

I was just doing some research on the Holden site and discovered a new vehicle "comming soon", it is the Colorado 7, which is a wagon version of the Colorado, configured with 7 seats.

The seats appear to be configured for the second and third rows to fold giving a flat floor.

It is being offered in two models LT and LTZ, both look capable, with the key differencies being Climate Control/Air Con, 18/16" mags, Leather seats, and folding mirrors on the LTZ. Appart from trim items they appear to be mechanically identical.

Where the Colorado ute has 3,500kg towing capacity, the wagon advertises 3,000kg.

I expect we will see it in dealers before xmas.

There is no indicaion yet on pricing, but  would expect it woud be reasonably keen to stay in touch with its competitors, especially the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I would expect Ford to be hatching somethng simiar based on the Ranger, but the media does not appear to have mentioned it again since it was first floated as an idea by Ford at a press conference in 2010. 

I just found pricing, they range from $46,990 to $50,490 +ORC.
