I'd send you boys some tissues....but my last major lot went down to Mick/Fusion :D. From where I sit, it boils down to expectations...I enjoy the dvd's......from a value perspective....a mag and dvd is bloody good value. Of course there is going to be advertising....thats a given.....how else is any magazine going to get off the ground. Roothy is always giving a nudge to landies....does it wear a bit thin at times...for sure. Does LR as a company help to change that perception...not really.
The D3 has come out and won awards all over the place and proven itself. Whereas I wouldnt touch a new Defender ( or that lamo name "Puma") with a 10 ft pole until its myriad of issues are sorted out. The average 4WD punter knows how well our beasts go off road...but also know it has a history in the past of unreliability...part of no doubt is urban myth created over time.
On previous dvd's where they show a specific vehicle....then you get to find out all the mechancial/ technical aspects. To expect that knowledge from that "shoot out" I think is expecting to much. Besides if you want to know that info....PM Ash :). Ultimately, I love anything 4WD/ Camping/ Great Outdoors.......if LR's weren't around....I'd be driving something else,
Regards
Stevo
