I think I'd rather have the Defender because Land Rover fanboy. Analyze pictures below before making a choice.

Retro-cool.

Kinja'd!!!

Gangster-cool.

Both have been facelifted to modern-esque standards.

G class, because it's what we get in the US. If in Europe though, Defeneder.

Assume you live in a free country where you can get any car you want.

I would rather have the G Class ( Yes, I'm a mercedes fanboy).

I dunno... on the one hand the Land Rover is the real deal... but on the other hand, the G Wagon would go better with my yoga mat and my botox face.

Landie, always for me.

I can appreciate that people may go for the G Class but the Landie is the rugged diehard for me.

If it was purely for an off-road expedition, the Defender.

For absolutely anything other than pure off-road use, the G Class.

If this were truly the land of the free, the Defender of course. But I'll just have to go with the G, because I don't want my car crushed. Thanks Obama. Scratch that, thanks Reagan. Of all the great things you did, that was a major fuck up.

Came kinda close to a 2DR 90 Defender out of law school. Ultimately I realized - long road trips in it would be torture, the transmission was difficult to shift, and the clutch felt like the brake. But how great would it be to have one to use once in a while?

G-Class, so I can pretend to be some coke'd up celebrity with more plastic inside of me than a tire, while getting DUI's left right and center and binging on everything that you can binge on.

I fully agree, but for some reason the exterior of the Landie looks more upscale and classy

As long as it's a twin turbo LS from NRE. Because right now I'm really pissed at the environment.

Defender... because who doesn't want to be a British government agent? And the stereotype driver for the G class is rich white girls with yappy dogs.

I guess the 2011 ones have all these problems solved. It would be awesome. Came close to a Peugeot 607 after I passed the bar, maintenance scared me.

I also recall that the Defender was just north of 35 grand, even in the late 90s. The '97 SHO I wound up with was 25K out the door.
