I hate getting ripped off by the dealers and the outrageous servicing costs. I also think the old mechanical less electronics vehicles are less likely to leave you stranded. The only three amigo's in my life are on celluloid. :)
But as several people have stated it's each to their own. We all have more in common than differences, after all we are all on the aulro site through choice.

For sure be critical if warranted...but knock it for knockings sake?Quote:
Using the same logic,just because you think it is not ugly,doesn't mean it isn't.It is just an opinion,Everyone has one and no one is right or wrong,only to themselves.
As to logic....well opinions are easily torn to shreds...factual information is a lot harder to refute. In terms of the statement "being ugly"....that is an opinion. Being the top rated 4WD around the world, winning countless awards and people spending upwards of $60k-$100k + would confirm that the opinion of it being a great looking car along with other aspects...would be correct.
So yes we all have opinions yada yada........ what I fail to see is the point of innocuous statements such as that...in a positive article about an LR...one may as well go buy a Toyota or Nissan as they seem to revel in putting things down,

If someone posted up a review that slated the marque does that mean that everyone that posts in that thread can only say bad things as saying good things wouldn't be relevant?:D
IanV8 if you think that cars ugly.........good for you.:p I dont I like it and knowing what the D3/4's can do makes it even nicer.....
We are ALL guilty for pointless posts probably even you stevo thats part and parcel of writing something on here. Not everyone is going to like what you say:)
Knowing the second hand pricing of an old RR you might not have to wait that long for it to be affordableQuote:

Plus if one is going to make a statement...at least back it up...its ugly because???
And really...if that's ugly...them I'm a monkeys uncle.......

:lol2: you wish:D.......you haven't been that quiet stevo I have enjoyed reading your posts up until this one. Wow your a very sensitive guy stevo to think that when ever i reply to your post I have been sitting and waiting to do so......your not that important mate;).Quote:

I replied as I feel you have been very harsh.....if you feel he needs to back up his statement couldn't you have just asked why he feels the way he does? rather than going off on one like that and try to make him look small in front of the whole forum.:)
And what is this thread actually about again????? OH YES a review on a D4 not on a questionably looking boxy D3 :p

You must have been a Chinese editor in a previous life, where only the positive spin may be published, true or not. You're in Australia now, where we have freedom of speach, thought and opinion. My free opinion still considers the D3 ugly! If you want one, good for you, I hope you get many years of happiness from it. If you do ever aquire possession of one, rest assured I will not be launching bombastic attacks upon you for your (right of) choice. As a democratic Australian, I will respect everyone's choice and right to hold a differing opinion.Quote:
