Worlds Best 4x4??
marjan:
:? :? :?
Chapel Gate, Derbyshire = a very tough steep lane.
My Vitara = up in one go on first attempt.
Jeep Cherokee = 3 attempts then gave up.
Now don't get me wrong, the Jeep is a very nice & capable motor but best 4x4 in the world - I don't think so :roll:

Don't get me wrong. I like LR's. I used to drive lightweights and early RR's when i was younger. LIke any other 4x4 they are very capable in the right hands.
However i have a huge problem with LRO's. In 12 years of off-roading here and in the US i have NEVER met a more close minded group of vehicle owners as LR owners. The lengths i have seen them go to to remain separate from any other brand has been incredible. Every other marque i've known is happy to mix with 'others', but not LRO's (in my experience).

If that was also directed towards myself, then I suggest you read my post again. It was clear that it was the wording and gloating that I disliked.

I read it. You didn't like the way Jeep "gloated" over the award. Get over it. If LR had won, you'd all be on here "gloating" your a$$e$ off. If LR had won (as it has done in the past, both here AND IN THE US), it wouldn't bother me a bit. It wasn't just directed at you, but all the other whingers in this thread. Crying because you didn't automatically win just because its a LR.
BTW, I got the same envelope. In it (not that you read it), it had the offer to test drive a Jeep Commander for 48 hours.
In other words i'd get to drive a brand new free jeep for 24 hours. Whoopee for me right?
I wouldn't take it. Why? I don't like the Commander. If i had to buy a 7 seater SUV, i'd get a Chevy Tahoe or Land Cruiser. Big on the inside as well as the outside. Unlike the Commander. And off-road, a Land Cruiser would spank a Commander every time. Would you catch me crying becuse something perfoms better than 'my brand'? No.
But having a thread like this where its 'inconceivable' that anything could beat a LR just because its a LR.
Sad.

WW3 has started... :(
Who cares what you drive - just enjoy it, get it muddy, keep it clean, whatever floats your boat...

That is what I've been noticing more and more often. That's why I'm being tempted more and more to go with a Japanese vehicle of some sort, as I get a comfortable vehicle that's also reliable (well built too!) and also very capable by going that way.

Although this again felt somewhat directed towards me and others here, I have to say I'm not too fussed about who wins what. I just didn't like the wording, simple as that.

I too saw that, and the same as when I got the Nissan Nivara (spelt right?) advert brochure through the post, that too had it, as did the LR for the Disco 3. Each one I would of happily had a test drive of. I'm always curious to see what each manufacturer can come up with, whether it be gimmicky or useful.
:D
I'm not at all surprised that the MOD is going with Santana's PS10 either. I personally think it's a far better choice than the poorly built (by today's standards) vehicles that now come out from Solihull with the Defender badge.
Although can I make one suggestion? Your posts do come across as slightly aggressive. It may be worth toning down parts of the post a little, or express your feelings in a slightly more diplomatic form. ;)
