Want An Audi A6 Avant? Look At The A4 Wagon Instead

After seeing the prices for the new 2020 Audi A6 Allroad wagons if you want one you should look at the A4 Allroad instead. Hovering between $65,000-70,000 the A6 Allroad prices are a little hard to swallow. Which is a shame because the A6 Allroad is a little bit sexier, a little bit larger, and …

The Jeep Wrangler Can Rock Crawl, but Can It Rally?

While the Jeep Wrangler’s off-road design does compromise somewhat on safety, it’s also what makes the SUV so popular. While the Gladiator pickup truck may provide more utility and on-road refinement, the Wrangler is still the one to get when it comes to rock-crawling and other technical kinds of off-roading. But is the Wrangler good …

A Mercedes G-Wagen Cabriolet Makes for a Much Better Land Rover

The original Land Rover Defender may be an incredible off-roading SUV, but it also has its flaws. They’re slow, spartan, and not exactly safe. It was safety regulations, in fact, that stopped US sales back in 1997. And the small US-legal production date (’93-’97) makes the Defender rather expensive, especially compared to ones in Europe. …

The Incredible History of the Nissan Patrol

When people in the US think of iconic off-road SUVs, they tend to picture the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, Willys Jeep, or Ford Bronco. Those ‘in-the-know’ may also include the Land Rover Defender or even Mitsubishi Montero. But if you asked someone overseas, especially in Australia, to make such a list, there’d be one more …

The Mercedes G550 4×4 Squared Is a $300,000 German Bro-Dozer

Although some mod it too far, what keeps the more extreme G-Wagens from being too groan-worthy is Mercedes’ dedication to keeping the SUV a luxury off-road tank. True, a Suzuki Jimny offers bare-bones buffoonery, but there’s something about a 6-wheeled pickup that supersedes logic. And even without extra wheels, the G-Class, like the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, …

Although today Land Rover tends to be more closely associated with the luxury Range Rover, the company is also responsible for hard-core off-roaders like the Defender. But in addition to bringing the Defender back, with an extra entry-level version, Land Rover also has a high-end division. Special Vehicle Operations, which also works on Jaguars, is …
