    I actually like it!!!

    Took one for a drive at the Field days last year and was totally impressed.

    As a second vehicle I'd have one.

    I agree (apart from the appearance)

    Technically it has much more going for it than the exterior sheet metal suggests...low range... efficient diesel...and proper 4wd.

    A wolf in sheep's clothing...LR might do better hopping into bed with Ssangyong than with Ford Transit.
