Ah, did someone call?
Slag off the Explorer?
Why?
Most of what I said came to pass and a lot of backs are now turned against the type, not my choice or doing it was something quite predictable for quite a while.
If Mesa can keep its act together there may well be a new dawn but not yet this side of hand-wringing, dreams and 2007/08.
Meanwhile the customer has voted with their billfolds at a disparity level of about 5 to 1 [certainly not 10 to 1 even if you include all the alternatives].
Meanwhile, in the UK emergency services market at least, there are three clear choices [135,145 and Grand]. Until that situation alters the Explorer remains sidelined. Not dead, sidelined.
The Explorer [or something similar without an EC badge] is needed in the light twin market but whatever it is will be no good unless it works and works well.
