Looks like a series Land Rover that's been built by someone that's not seen one, but has had it described to him over a bad phone line.

Think they are like Marmite ? .

they're bloody good quality though

A firm favourite with the Dubai royal family, but I fail to see how MB can justifty the ridiculously huge price tag!  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

They've always been ugly, but it's what sort of makes them beautiful

Is it worth considering as an alternative to the range rover ?
I've never been in one. Are they as comfy ?

Do they break down, or are there no figures to compare because there's only something ridiculous like 2 in the country

So the radical new design is basically new wing mirrors and DRLs. Ok so the car is completely new underneath but at least give it a decent make over. They might be popular, but in my opinion they are dog ugly. Glad to have a Range Rover. Tom

you'd need a blacked out windscreen in case you drove by anyone who knows you, kind of reminds me of the Lada Niva http://world-viewer.com/data_images/lada-n...4x4-05.jpg

Yeah, I'd never have admitted that Craig

C'mon, that's uglier than a cross between Quazimodo and Jade Goody. It'd be like having a moped, great fun until your mates saw you on it. How could you live it down ??? You'd be forever getting comments like "Yeah, here comes the bloke who has less taste than fresh air"

But the older ones were rather capable machines. Not sure now it's all new underneath though. Not going to find out either.

Yeah, but they weren't 80 or 90 grand

And I'll let you all in to a secret about the G Wagon , the reson it has always come with three Diff Locks is it's not that good off road , the diff locks are to compensate for poor axle articulation . And the ride is truly awfull . And it's ugly . And it' from the 70's. Still cool? 2008 MY Supercharged

Good to see they designed a car for blind off-roaders...  Tom
