If you compare it to say a defender 90 or two door jeep it doesn't seem that small. It's midway between that and the 4 door or 110. I agree though, it does waste quite a lot of space.
For serious over landing you don't really want a v8. A 4pot diesel with a turbo is perfect. A v8 is going to be a bit heavy on sand, plus you'll get hit hard in some countries that tax you at the boarder based on engine size (for they environment they say...)
I wish LR and Toyota would bring the diesel version of their overlanding trucks here. When your out in the sticks the quality of the fuel can be a bit iffy... and if you need a higher octane then you're really rolling the dice. Doesn't really matter so much in Canada/US though I guess.
