Range Rovers are awesome machines with a significant Land Rover pedigree. I could never afford one and they have become a bit too bling for my liking, but they make sense as the pinnacle of the luxury / technology end of the Land Rover brand.Quote:

Subaru's are great cars however they are no where near as capable as a Freelander. I tried to take my Outback up a track that was a little interesting, it didn't take long to cross axle it and then it wouldn't go anywhere.
I've seen some of the places that a Freelander can go and some of the 4WD utes in standard trim have difficulty doing the same terrain.
Is this because you can't rivet things onto the side of it and have it still look 'acceptable'?
Is Mr Landy another panel gap fetishist? :D

What a load of dribbling rot.
Whilst I disagree with it getting the Discovery name, it's a direct replacement for the Freelander (shares most of its underneath parts with the FL2 and Ewok), which was perfectly deserving of the LR name...
It's a different product line to the rugged Land Rovers, and if the soft ones didn't exist, how many decades ago do you think the hard ones would have disappeared? :wasntme:
He He, nah each to their own brother. I'm just a provocative, no pretender 4WD guy tired of the luxury urban-centric trajectory that Land Rover is taking with every vehicle, at the expense of serious heavy duty working 4WD's. This indirectly also means less and less service support outside the cities, for what are becoming more and more high-tech vehicles supposedly designed for the bush.Quote:

What a load of crap... :angel:
Your posts are a fast-trak version of 4WD Action... :wasntme:
D4s as example have proven more reliable than any model Defender...
And are being used for almost all the same things out on the tracks...
Most "hard" 4wdrivers really are nothing but travellers... We have a member here who has taken a FL2 across the iconic tracks without issue...
We (LR owners) dress our vehicles up with all the gear more often because we like it, and it may make the trip a little nicer... Not because the vehicle needs it.
To claim that a vehicle built by a company is not worthy of the brand is just ludicrous...
As for urban servicing...
We dont have a LR, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Ford, Jeep, VW, Hyundai dealer in town (2nd largest city in SA).
We have a Holden dealer... And just recently a new Toyota dealer (essentially a service department only).
Ironically when it comes to service items, the worse was the Toyota dealer - most parts 6-8 weeks Ex-Japan.
And the quality of the workshop makes any LR story seem tame.
