Watch your mail for a certificate from Land Rover. It's good for a $1000 on a Land Rover Discovery or Freelander. It expires April 30, 2003.

I think the Range Rover's are rated pretty well, but for $60K they had better be! If I had $60K to blow on an SUV, I'd get an X5 plus a Mini Cooper with the $ that's left over...Originally posted by: GroundedSailor
Spend over $60,000 to to buy that POS and save $1,000?? I'd rather buy 2 Grand Cherokees!
HAAHAAHA! Thanks for the memory--I just laughed out loud for the first time in a couple of weeks. Has it really been almost 20 years since that classic hit theaters?"Worm is a specialist in Aerodynamics. He designed Lamar's javelin to work specifically with his 'limp-wristed' throwing style"

If, however, you are simply into "sport urban vehicles" where the toughest thing you run over is a pot hole, then just about any old
SUV will suffice.
p.s. I dont own a Land Rover, but I have seen plenty of them in action on real trails. I've ridden in other *highly* modified vehicles (Xterras/pathfinders) in groups that contained both stock and modified Land Rovers, and the LRs are very trail worthy (which is more than you can say for 99.8% of SUVs sold)
It is pretty clear that most of the posters to this thread haven't a clue what a Land Rover can do.

A $65K Land Rover is probably superior technology-wise to most other SUVs (I can't say for sure...the only one I've ever owned is a Grand Cherokee). But what percentage of owners out there are actually taking their $65K Rovers offroad? Despite the Rover marketing dept's attempts to convince me otherwise, my guess would be "very few". Probably the same as the % of M3 or S4 owners who show up for autocross or track events Incidentally, almost 100% of the H2 and Rover drivers I've seen in my area appear to be suburban moms--not the type to do much offroading.Originally posted by: rdh

DerProfi - Here is a H2 review:

From what I have read the H2 is nearly as capable as the original off road.
