    Angry Some bad press from the USA

    Seems Range Rover and LR3 are high on the list of "the most unreliable luxury cars"

    Thats because americans cannot drive or maintain pommie cars properly.

    There Land Rovers there supposed to be unreliable
    The Americans just don't get it do they.

    Yes but how many incidents need to be reported to class it as below average? Matt

    Notice how the new Discovery isn't called a Discovery in America - it's a LR3.
    The early Discos had such a bad name that LR dropped it.

    It would appear that that was a waste of time. Matt

    But ford has increased their recall over to over 1 millin vehicles dating back to 1994 so how bad could the LR3 be?

    IF you go to the original JD Power survey, you'll find not a little bias in there.

    The other day on the local news they reported that 4WD owners were more agressive than others, according to Brisbane Uni survey. They surveyed a total of 16 (that's right 16) people who owned both sedans and 4WD's...

    "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics!"
