Australia's fleet of Land Rovers is to be replaced by Mercedes Benz G-Wagens.
Playing Devil's advocate, I "think" I'm somewhat pleased that Australia isn't going to receive 1200+ Pinzgauers and the exclusivity of the 20+ Pinny's that are here will continue for the present.
I'm also pleased that I don't have to look, or justify, to those less enthusiastic about the marque than myself, the Pinzgauer II's styling!

I also take solice in the fact that the G-Wagen originally started out as the H2 (Haflinger replacement project) and that it is a SDP design, so it's a cousin to the Pinny!
For the moment the closest bulk user of newer Pinzgauers (718's) will continue to be New Zealand!
