The cost of fuel would have been 50+% more and the sticker price was about $12000 more as well. I do really like my X5 and know it was the right decision but the kid in me still wishes for the RR Sport SC with 510hp and going over their obstacle course at 45-60 degree angles!
I chose between my 5.0i m-sport and the '11 RR Sport SC. I never got to drive the SC, but I did drive a Lux. I really liked the Sport, the ride, handling was good for a truck, visibility, all that. The dealership though was tough to work with, didn't call when they had an SC to look at (as they said they would), and generally were pretty elitist. That was Landrover of Bellevue in Bellevue, WA. I could still see owning one someday though, I thought it was great.

On the other hand, I very much like my X5. If I could own both, I might :-)
