There's another thread on this, but I thought I'd actually set up a poll and see what we get.

I'd take the X5 out of this crowd, but like the clean-ness of the new Exploder too...

I have driven Lada Niva 1.7i through some forests in winter , it looks really bad , is really uncomfortable , but it's really good off-road , even if it has 4-cyl , plain 2 valves and no electronics nor other "brilliant" systems... Hehe , in Poland (a so-called post comunist country) we have a lot of russian stuff , anyway now were more about western europe and the us... Did you know that in the 50's , 60's and 70's all the russian makes were inspired by american makes? It was exavtly like Lada-Ford , Moskvich-Oldsmobile , ZIL-Lincoln and so on... That's crazy , even single models from america were the inspiration for "new" models of russian makes...

Where's the 4Runner?

I already have a Toyota 4Runner for this purpose. Nicely modded with the old TRD supercharger and headers, little lift work, and new head unit (soon to be replaced...i hope). At least it's capable of actually going off-road (not quite like the G-Wagen, but good enough )...i just have to do a bit more of that.

I say hold out for the new H2 as a 2003 model! It will have all sorts of cool equipment standard such as Nav, DVD etc. Looks sweet too. Here's a link to the site that gives specs and shows the pictures of it.
