Car News briefs: Cross Lander Ute expected this year

AutoWeek | Published 01/17/06, 4:33 pm et

Free pass for Cross Lander

Importers of the inexpensive Romanian built Cross Lander 244X sport/ute won a three-year exemption from federal airbag requirements. Cross Lander won the exemption through May 2008 because the vehicle as initially configured weighed more than 5500 pounds, which would have excluded it from the requirement. However, an engine supply problem forced a powertrain switch that reduced the weight below the 5500-pound threshold. As a result, the company requested and won the airbag waiver and plans to move ahead with sales of the vehicle in the United States this year.

I drive by 'Lokey Crosslander and Land Rover' in Tampa every now and then and of course never saw an actual Crosslander.

No airbags? Eastern Bloc? What a piece of $h!.

They've only been trying to import that vehicle for a decade or so. And it was ancient ten years ago!
