I've always kind of liked the "Discos" although not quite enough to own one. They have a well proven engine that's been around forever and the same ZF transmission you'd find in a Volvo or MB. If you can work on it yourself it wouldn't be a bad vehicle--there's plenty of sources for parts (British Atlantic is a good one). One problem they have is with the air suspensions (very expensive to fix), but British Atlantic sells a kit to convert it to coil springs (which actually improves the ride). They do suck gas (which is why I've never bought one) about like a Suburban, which has more power and room--but not the panache. Like Saabs people are afraid of used ones, so you can get a lot of bang for the buck. If you could find one on the cheap that has air suspensions problems...
