The Iltis was Germany`s cast off
C'mon Chris, the Volkswagen Iltis is not a cast off, maybe the Bombardier version was made from the wrong cast :-)

Face it, the Mercedes Benz G-Wagen acquired by Canada's Army to replace the Iltis is the cream of the crop (pic source: armyimages.forces.gc.ca). It is the vehicle of choice for many armies around the world, including the USMC who find the Hummer too cumbersome. Here's hoping Canada will continue to search for oddball Euro stuff and be pleasantly surprised!
