just to point out here (as an owner and confirmed fan of the 70 Series Toyota Landcruiser) that the "cruiser" has a heritage that is almost as extensive as that of the defender... the 70 series landcruisers are to all intents and purposes the direct counterparts to the the defenders....
"Cool" is very much a matter of perception i guess, dependability is not.... No offense whatsoever to LR fans, being a Classic car enthusiast myself I understand the obsession, but the thing is, when you're miles from anywhere in the middle of some desert, or the aussie outback, It's the Landcruiser that's more likely to go through it without a shrug.
