Recently watched on you tube a Top Gear program from 1991 where Mr Clarkson pits a G Wagon, Landcruiser 80 and a Range Rover Vogue against each other, I found it interesting to note some of the remarks, he thought the diesel G Wagon to be sluggish, the cruiser far too many switches and a " leviathan" although he admits it was Toyota who took Africa from Land Rover, and he rather liked the Rangie, don't get me wrong, I love all three, but I realise now the power of the media, which maybe why the ' Cruiser was popular with groups of people who may not have been influenced by the TV or the 4x4 magazines of that era! People with heavy trailers to tow, big caravans etc, what do think? ( I'm not paranoid, yet) maybe they just didn't "click" with potential customers of the time against the Rangie?
