In any case what you have written can be said about most high end vehicles. Do most Porshe, Saleen Mustangs, Corvette, etc. owners test the upper limits of thier cars? I think not. Although a percentage of LR owners may never press their vehicles to the upper limits, driving one in a torential downpour or on snow covered roads is very reassuring. I think your opinion applies to most 4 wheel drive vehicle owners and not just LR. As far as taking a 60+k vehicle off-road, as the saying goes if you have to ask how much it is, you probably shouldn't buy it. Regarding the maintenance costs and dealership comments, so what else is new? Again, try taking any high end vehicle into a dealer and see what is the cost of maintenance. Time is a lot more precious commodity than the cost of a mechanical material item. Thanks for your input on the LR marque. I feel sure you probably would be more happy in another type of vehicle. Regards, Jim Thompson
