Few vehicles have the off-road reputation of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

The Land Rover Range Rover is one; also like the G-Class, it has a breathtaking price tag to go with its legendary capability.

The Toyota Land Cruiser is substantially less expensive but no less talented, though it is finished more inexpensively.

7.4 The 2008 Mercedes-Benz G-Class climbs rocks the old-fashioned way, with the looks to match.	9 The 2008 Land Rover Range Rover remains the ultimate luxury sport-utility vehicle, a well-heeled performer for those well-heeled enough to own one.	8.2 The 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser builds on a world-class reputation for hardy off-road performance and greatly improves its on-road performance, but don’t expect a plush ride or posh interior.
