Pretty much all the vehicles after the MLVW were of european descent. The Iltis, the LSVW (Iveco), the HLVW (Steyr) and then the G wagon all replaced North American type cehicles with varying degrees of success. The armoured AHSVS (Mercedes armoured 10 ton) also replaced armoured North American built highway tractors in Afghanistan, and are looked at with envy from several different countries, the US included.
About the only real lemon in the bunch is perhaps the LSVW, which was chosen for the military, and not by the military.
The only real exception to his is the new MLVW replacement
