What would you pick

[Rob P]

You just hit the lottery, you have oodles of money and you have your choice of a brand new Defender 110 or a Mercedes G-500/55. Which would you pick? Myself I have a soft spot for the G-wagon even though I am a LR faithful kinda guy.

Well Sean, I'll see you at the dealership. I want mine in black on black, the AMG 55 model.

I'd also want a Porsche or Lamborghini tractor.

I've seen at least 2 of the Porche tractors at a farm in Whitehall MD and I've seen the Lambroghini tractors in a book I have here. Personally I want a Fendt tractor.

I was one of the many who voted -- likewise I was in the majority in picking the D110. However, I would gladly accept a G-Wagen.

That said, this really isn't a fair comparison -- it's not apples-to-apples stuff. Maybe back in the early 70s it was a fair comparison, but these days things are quite different.

Sure, the G and the Defender have very similar and familiar profiles. But, in all honesty, I think that comparing the G to a Range Rover makers more sense.

Fancy electronics, snazzy polished wood and leather interiors, big V8s and the like make the 550 and the RR much closer than the Benz to the Defender.

Nevertheless, I'll stick with the 110, then a Range Rover and then the G-Wagen. But hey, if you're buying, I'll gladly accept any and all of the following. =^)
