I do continue to believe that a big part of owning a Land Rover is owning the history and mystique...Attitude. If I were purchasing my sole vehicle and my four wheel drive needs were no more serious than ice, snow and a little dirt road gumbo, I would buy a Toyota or Jeep and I have (I currently have a Grand Cherokee and a Tahoe as well as my Rovers). However there are no more tough and stylish and just plain cool trucks out there than the Land Rovers and if you want to drive one bad enough you have to be willing to deal with that. I learned that with my first Land Rover and it has been a consideration with each one I have owned. Despite having said that..... I also hope that one positive aspect of BMW taking over at Solihull will be a more reliable and less quirky Rover. Rover On. Peter Holmes
