And there is the main reason for not buying a new land rover.
The best thing about land rover was the ability to fix them cheaply (they needed to be cheap to fix), unfortunately with the development of all the electronic junk this is no longer the case.
I'm a fan of older landies they are fun to go out and beat up and then fix for peanuts. For a modern multi purpose vehicle I think Jap or Yank would be preferable.
For out and out off road then eastern block vehicles win hands down.
Unfortunately it's the way all new cars are going, the Euro 5 (copied by many countries inc. Australia) emissions restrictions mean that the manufacturers have to make the engines more complicated to meet the law. The euro 6 restrictions coming in in 2013 will be the death knell for quite a few cars and their engines.
