Well, I will likely remain a VW/Porsche/Audi owner at heart after going from Touareg to Cayenne to Q5 but, no more TDI, I've gone to the Land of Rover. If I live long enough and get dragged kicking and screaming into Hybrid World on our next vehicle, I may well be back but, in the mean time, . . . this will just have to do! Slummin' it . . .
But, I'll still be hanging around to keep up on things. Thanks everyone for your perception, help and guidance over the last 4 years.
The crooked back end is painful to watch. I belive LR understoo thei mistake and FL Disco should have numberplate in the middle. Other then that, it looks great.
Thanks all. Yup, though I've always admired Rovers from a distance, it was indeed the diesel that made me switch. It is STILL the best power plant for this type of vehicle [IMO of course] and, clear out here in the sticks where we live, it just makes more practical sense on the farm, have our own 500 gallon tank, etc. Even with this larger heavier Disco, after all the driving in town, there was 28.7mpg on the display when I pulled in out here. And, had almost forgotten how badly I missed the 4 corner air on my Pepper until I finally got to drive this Landrover home. It is the wife's primary though. Given their sometimes finicky nature, I decided to do a 3 year lease, our payments actually went down $100 from the Audi but, if we love the vehicle, I live long enough, a meteor does not hit here, or we do not finally decide to act our age and ride off into the Kansas Elderly Land of Buicks [state law here I think?] etc., we can always buy the Landrover's residual later. If not, I croak on her etc, the wife can just go hand them the keys in 3 years.

Hilarious, Canon! If I had a 500 gal tank at my farm I’d be sorely tempted to fill it with farm diesel, lol.
