I have to agree with you on the Range Rover. I've owned one and probably would get another (despite the problems it had). The new one (2010+) is absolutely fantastic. I went back and fort for days on which to choose and ended up with another X5. It really came down to gas mileage, dependability and inevitable glare in the Nav (Florida sun). The 4.8i I had last never lived up to my expectation when driving the old RRS. Funny thing is, the new X5 50i does. Maybe its the Nappa leather, the silky transmission or the 5.1 or so seconds to 60mph but it really did it.

Question - I know magazines always compare the Range Rover Sport Supercharged to the X5M, but isn't it closer in stats to the 50i? The X5 M absolutely blows it away in every which way. The 50i is still a bit faster but more relative in all ways including price!

Still a big fan of the Land Rover and will definitely entertain it again in 2 years when the new one comes out. Lots of luck with it! (Im secretly jealous)
