Thoughts and comments please.

Serge, You better not.....

I think it deserves it.
It has robust capabilities with luxurious features in and out.
Hopefully they are more reliable in the long run mechanically.
I am a GM fan, but when it comes to their large SUVs, they leave a lot to be desired.
Looks at how deep that Rover is in the water. If you take a Tahoe/Yukon or Escalade that deep you will be in a bad situation real quick.

I don't think it's the best I think a wrangler unlimited is the best or a H1 due to what they can do out in the middle of no where but it's definitley loaded

 

[Modded]

Well a Wrangle offers all the offroading capabilities with very little luxury and space. This has the best of both worlds. Plus, how many SUVs actually go under trying conditions? Range Rover realizes that and decided to go after more luxury with more than adequate offroading capabilities for at least 80% of the SUV market.
Toyota/Lexus did the same thinking with the current Land Cruiser and LX570 models.

Yeah thats true they have heated seats/nav/all of the goodies but not range rover goodies

**** wranglers a rover will out offroad one no problem and can completely submerge aswell as make it very difficukt to get stuck if you know what you are doing

my gf has a wrangler unlimited......POS (yes it deserves a caps lock) if you ask me. but she loves it. i'll agree modded, i'd love to take my tahoe into 3 ft of water stock, but my interior would be ruined along w/ my motor and everything else electrical.....

That's a lie gzes My friends dad has a 2011 RR SC and it did terrible in the snow.
Completely submerge is that a joke? No car can completely submerge.

No car can completely submerge.

Actually, most cars aren't buoyant.

I won't get into the argument of which is better. But a lot of Rovers around here are used as mall crawlers and commuter cars (status symbols) and as such have road/performance tires. I'm not surprised it didn't handle well in the snow. Tires make all the difference

Ahh, probably right about that good point

That is very true. Most tires offered by brands from the manufacturer will not shine in the snow.

Top gear had a great episode on the RR vs. H2 vs. escalade!

Couldn't find a working video link to post unfortunately.

A client of mine had a supercharged RR. Said he would be lucky if he made it to 100K.

I agree they are great off road, but how many do you see set up that way????

This...........

Not This. IMO.

I saw that. The H2 could of done better they were just trying to prove a point because they like RR. And the escalade is AWD not a real 4x4 like H2 and RR.

No go on the rover i think its JU NK they need to go back to the old days when they built a RANGE ROVER not a flashy 80G pimp mobile Most of them never see a dirt road
