I've read a few [hilarious] threads and I'm beginning to think if I put a LR badge on anything, some people would be swayed enough to buy it.
So in the complete absence of any LRs what would you drive?
addendum: it has to be something you can actually afford;)

Plymouth Superbird Hemi, or a Kurtis Kraft KK550S. But I really would like my 1970 Dodge Challenger Hemi convertible back. Not one of these is practical but I can buy a cheap rice grinder at auction for a shopping cart.

LR replacement - Unimog
Not allowed the OKA, Iveco Massif or Santana as they're a LR..
4WD wagon - Beamer X5 V8 (had a 4.4 - it handled and sounded great)
Boggo commuter - Ford Falcon coz they refuse to die.

G Wagen.
Someone offered me a P38a today, first time I'd ever considered that option. Good thing the thread specifies non-LR.:D

Probably still driving a Hillman Imp Mk1 with board racks, Pirellis and a lukey muffler.
First car for $300, and the bestus thing I ever owned - until it broke down...........
Apologies to the folks trying to cut down on poor grammar.

For a 4wd, maybe a Navara or I'd hang out for the VW dual cab soon to be released.
For a car, I'd go back to a Liberty or maybe a Passat 4Motion.

It depends on what we are talking about.
4x4 Maybe 100 Series cruiser V8 petrol, not a diesel slug preferablly a custom tray twin cab or maybe a mitsubish canter 4x4 twin cab truck.
Cars will always be a Holden of some sort - currently have a WK statesman (well at least my wife does). Would like to get my Torana back on the road, but that will not be happening for a while now.
High performance cars Porsche GT2.
There are many others E38 or E49 Charger (even a 770), A9X, L34, XA Coupe, 67 Camaro and the list goes on on classics.

1) The logic replacement for a Defender: a Mercedes Benz G wagon
2) Unimog

Realistically I would look at 4Door Jeep Wrangler TD 5 speed or a Mitsubishi Pajero TD depending on family needs and room for travelling.

How is an OKA a Land Rover?
For a 4wd I would probably have a Patrol GU 4.2 TD or Landcruiser 100 Series TD.
For a road car I would finish getting my WB ute project vehicle going. Ultimately with supercharged 355, T56 6 speed manual and 9 inch diff (fully floating axles).

When I was hunting for a 4x4 .... there was 2 items to look at on my list
1 was a RRC
the other was this Our International Scouts (http://sw074.k12.sd.us/scouts.htm)

Pug 306 for car.
Today, I would say a GQ-U or 80 series for 4x4. A few years ago I would of said a Jeep.
