For those in the U.S., there is an interesting article in today's L.A.
Times. It seems that Mercedes Benz is going to import the Gelandewagen.
Also, GM and AM General are seriously talking about making a bob-tail
version of the Hummer H2 - whatever that is. They call it a "SUT" - Sport
Utility Truck. These are supposed to feed the market for true off-road
capable vehicles that also have the usual USA-type amenities. The article
compared them to Lincoln Navigators (yeah sure), and - guess what - Land
Rover's Range Rovers. Of course, we all know what the real "SUT" in
Ford-Land Rover's model line is. Who knows, maybe those stratospheric
prices for '93 NAS Defender 110s are going to take a bit of a dip - provided
Ford and Land Rover get the hint.
