The big question will be if these are bought by posers like the original Defender G Wagen and Wranglers, to be driven around town.

As for the 70 series, have watched a few reviews and owners first impressions of the new ones, common theme is the Hilux engine and auto trans outperforms the V8 in the real world .
The answer is YES in places like $ydney, plenty of Gangster types using all of the above. Never seen so many Black G wagons.
