I wouldn't. Not when the Santana build quality is apparrantly better than Land Rover's Defender's, and it's a lot cheaper for very similar performance and out performs the Defender in many other useful ways.
A prime example is that the Defender rear door isn't wide enough for a pallet to be loaded horizontally. But a PS10's is! ;)

JUDAS!! :shock: !!
I would like to have a close up look at one to see for myself. They do look as though they're made of plastic.
I must say that the prices look better than LR's. I imagine they'd be very good work horses.

I know what you're going to say...
At least plastic doesn't rust!
El Land Rovero has a steep hill to climb to pursuade me :wink:
Range Rover Blues:
LRO tried one last year, the series at Gaydon and a Defender. The Santana is a hlafway house as far as off-road goes, better than the SIII but way behind a stock Defender. But as said it's a workhorse, it can tow 3.5 tonnes, drive off-road, carry a pallet in the back, has oodles of torque and was slapped with the ugly stick. At least it won't get stolen.
