That is my Favorite Land Rover Model. I like the looks of this SUV over the newer LR3.

It appears I hurt your feelings. I am sorry for that, there is no reason to poke fun because you don't agree with my opinions. For owning a BMW and a Rolex, aren't you in the same boat as me? Because you can afford a Rolex and a BMW, doesn't that make it an affordable Luxury? I don't think you put up the farm to buy a BMW, nor a Rolex.

Audi is by far the superior automobile for the money.

Currently very happy with my 2008 BMW 5-series. Have previously had 3 Mercedes in addition to two BMWs. I guess that speaks for itself.

I can't disagree that those beautiful sports babies are stunning. However, since I'm a bit more "mature" the body doesn't easily bend in those shapes any more.

Cars are like women or bourbon. I can find a positive quality in each and every one.

Hmmm. My taste are more pedestrian: American truck!

I had a 5.0 Mustang (I miss going through the gears). I'd check out the new Challenger when it comes out.

Euro exotics are fantasies and impractical. I understand that knowing the specs. of Euro exotics are fun but most of us don't own these things. People "experience" these cars is through Top Gear and other tv shows.

Here in Europe and especially in Greece it's more difficult to get American cars. You see European and Japanese cars, though there are also a lot from other Asian countries, which are much cheaper. Personally, I prefer European cars. I own a Land Rover and I'm thinking of buying also the new Audi A4....

Classic example: A Lexus would put virtually most European, British and American cars to shame!!

i have to agree with this comment. im currently driving a toyota and have just clocked 300,000kms and the engine is still going strong. also id rather a lousy car, so that i can just park it, leave the doors unlocked, and no one will even take a second look at it

I`m a big fan of American cars,especially muscle car classics like Plimouth Road Runner,or Pontiac GTO.And Chevy Corvette,of course!
Nowadays,however,from my personal experience,there are no better car then Mercedes-Benz!You can take simplicity of A & B class,luxury of E & S class,sporty image of C class and rest of coupe models...and realize that they have no real competittion.
Reliability,durability,prestige...in one word - Mercedes!
And,maybe,Lexus...
