German and Jap SUV's are reliable no doubt about that but that reliability comes with a very high price tag.
Let me give you an example... Trail Blazer 3.5 V6 will cost you around 100,000....
Hummer H3 around 110,000.... Ford explorer is around the same price range..
If you look at the comparable German models which are X5 & X3 for that engine size you are talking about in excess of 250,000 for X5. X3 being slightly cheaper.
Japs, well only descent truck they have is land cruiser which is again more then 200,000. Prado being around 130,000 to 150,000
Secondly, most of us are in qatar for fews years only, I am not looking for a car which will last me a life time, becuase I will not be able to take it with me as Gas will kill me back home.
Warranty covers around 3 years which is good enough for me. After which I will either be gone or bored with this car and will be looking for another one.
Talking of craftmanship, I will strongly recommend you pay a visit to a dealer and check out the new trail blazer... it not bad.
