CAR WARS! Battle Of The Badass - Land Rover Defender Vs. Mercedes' Energ-G-Force

CAR WARS! Battle Of The Badass - Land Rover Defender Vs. Mercedes' Energ-G-Force
For the Spies who know me well, one vehicle that I've been enthralled by over the years is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, otherwise know as the G-Wagon or by its real name "Gelandewagen."

Think of it as Germany's Hummer.

It's undoubtedly one of the most utilitarian vehicles in its stripped, military trim; however, you certainly can load it up with options, leather and wood. Poof! Suddenly it's a SoCal and New York City socialite's dream. Though I've driven it and I haven't been impressed, I have to say there's some mystique to it because everytime I see one it's always an event.

Now, for the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show set to happen in the next couple of weeks, Mercedes-Benz has prepared something a bit special for what's considered the "green" show. No, not that kinda "green."

That, my friends, would be the Ener-G-Force concept, which is obviously a loose interpretation of what the G-Class could look like in 2025.

But this wouldn't be AutoSpies if we didn't wonder and were a bit curious -- How does the Ener-G-Force compared to another modern-day, badass vehicle? Enter the Land Rover Defender Concept, which was unveiled in 2011.

That said, WHICH future, all-terrain vehicle do YOU think is the king of being a badass?

I'd be happy with an Accord or Camry over those hideous things.

They both look like they're made out of plastic and have zero visibility out the windows.

Thumbs down.

The Benz, all the way. THIS is what the standard G-class should look like.
