    Hmm very interesting!

    Disco3 vs. LC100

    "The landcruiser was very noisy on hills [as the disco]"
    "The landcruiser didn't seem to pull the weight as smoothly [as the disco]"

    My, haven't the tables turned, if the comparison was between the Disco1 and the LC80 I think the results might have been different!

    Intersting that line about the Sahara's Air Springs being designed for Toorak Tractor duties... that just exemplifies Toyota's entire marketing structure - they know perfectly well that VERY FEW Sahara LC's go off road and so design them accordingly.

    Don't kid yourself joel. Regrettably the same is true of D3's (little off road use part, i mean).
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    At least however land rover are confident that their HSE spec'd discoveries are up to the task of towing and offroad work... but yes very VERY few would venture off the blacktop
