BUT, personally I think a conversion would be a BIG seller. All the people that have just bought CAT SX2's for the new season don't now want to be going out and buying another new car. Plus all those on budgets who have bought second hand CAT's. It will appeal to lots of people if they produced a conversion kit for around £150ish.
I think they chose a three-belt design to keep the motor centred. I think it's a nice, British carbon fibre XX4 (which is a good thing!), but I wonder if they will continue to release 4WD buggies at this pace. By the time I am forty, we will have the SX8!
The body could use some Azarashi curves in the rear, though. The square end is a bit boring imho.
