The ones in that link look like Vitaras?

The Defender lookalikes were at the ploughing match in Mogeely this year, and I have seen them abroad too. They look ok, similar to a defender but with 4 lights in the front rather than two and the cab looks a little different too.

Personally I think the Santana's look old fashioned, while the Defender looks class. I know that isnt a very logical viewpoint, but the Defender gets away with looking the way it does because it is "The Landrover".

EDIT: I see the pic of the landrover lookalike now

One of them looks like it is based on a very the old Suzuki Vitara from the early 1990s. The website address (santana-suzuki.es) would suggest there is some sort of partnership with Suzuki also.

Hope it fairs alot better in the EuroNap test than the Chinese 4x4 clone of the old Opel Frontera.
