    LandRover blinkers off folks. Ugliness is in the eyes of the beholder an all that and to me a D3-4 typifies ugliness.I also reckon the large vulnerble expanses of unsupported un ribbed sheetmetal of a Defender is ugly in a practical sense, and they've never looked quite right since adopting the one piece windscreen.
    I think the Gwagon styling is attractive.It looks and probably is very strongly built, and at least in station wagon form as pictured above, would offer occupants much better protection in the event of a collision or rollover than a defender would.
    Wagoo.

    Mrs Ho Har's opinion of the super-exy HID lights was - "why not drive in the daytime?", which I reckoned was quite a good thought

    Agree - quite like the look of the G-wagen. If the body was aluminium and the wheels were a bit bigger it would be just about perfect IMHO.

    My better half thinks d3s and D4s look hideous (but quite likes her D1). I tend to agree.

    My high beam is fantastic. But low beam illuminates maybe 5 or 6 meters ahead and that's it. It's dangerous in my opinion and I wonder if legal. Surely there must be minimum standards that they have to achieve.
    Once the price comes down I will be looking into them more seriously.

    Saw a pic of the g-wagen in military camo dress and I reckon it looked pretty good; very defenderish but just a bit different.

    Solmanic - I've tried to send you a PM but your mailbox is full, so I'll post here instead:

    Am looking to buy a 2011 G350 GWagen (perhaps) and thought I'd ask how you've gone with yours.

    I can't remember if you have the diesel or petrol G, but either way, would be interested about your impressions of:
    - reliability
    - parts availability/service costs
    - on road driving
    - off road driving
    Compared to a Defender (I have a PUMA).

    I've found one with 26,000Kms on it, and they want about $100K. Am off to test drive it in an hour or so.

    Cheers
    David
