Poll: Most durable vehicles on Africa's roads?

Tough metal
I remember watching those Ford commercials on TV a long time ago in Canada. The slogan for a particular series of ads is still fresh in my head: "Built Ford tough." This got me thinking about something.

The road ahead
Since I've managed to get an "up close and personal experience" from commuting on Kenya's roads, I asked myself this very question a few days ago: "Which cars are built tough enough to handle Africa's scenic potholes and terrain?" Please note we're talking about city driving here.

Your thoughts?
Quite frankly, I havent got a clue about this. I imagine Range Rovers would probably top the list. Right? What about Toyota's Land Cruiser? Do you know any one with a vehicle that's as tough as nails? In other words, a vehicle that can endure a constant physical pounding in this part of the planet. Well, if you have an opinion on this thought, please share it with us right here in the comments section. After all, this is the Internet where exchanging information for the betterment of everyone is the name of the game. Right?

Happy motoring!
