We looked at the LR but I must say we bought a volvo XC 60 and it has been terrific. Great vision, great safety, very quick and zero issues. Three friends have since bought the same car and been very happy. I disagree about not posting here, about 6 years ago I redid a kitchen and some of the best advice I got was here on audiogon.
Opinions on Land Rover LR2
My wife and I currently lease a Benz GLK350 and the lease is up soon. MB offered us a fair deal on a new one, but it's basically the same car, despite their claim that over 1000 parts have been changed, including the engine. We were thinking that the LR2 seems pretty cool, at about the same price for a base model which is plenty for us - well, for my wife actually. I get the Civic. Any LR2 owners out there? Also appreciate any input on the new X3 or Tiguan, which are also in the running.
