    Great looking SUV. If I had to buy an SUV, it'd be the Range Rover Supercharged.

    I'm probably getting one as well since it fits into the 179 tax requirements. Just the base model though. Test drove it today and really liked everything except the wood trim (if you can call it that). It was like they glued a wood sticker on a metal plate. It isn't enough to get me to pass on the truck but that was a really big let down.

    Feels weird saying this but.... given the jag motor you can expect less problems. I think Jag was number 2 in initial quality last year.

    the most gorgeous SUV on the planet, especially in that funky orange, they really did a great job,looks alot better than a cayenne.

    Finally got around to driving a Sport today, non-supercharged and I was not that impressed. I might order a Supercharged model because I loved the vehicle and everything else but the power. I was doing 130mph up the freeway like it was nothing, possibly could live with the non-supercharged model but not positive.

    I haven't driven the supercharged for that reason. The 4.4 works well but doesn't have the acceleration of my Infiniti FX35. Did you sit in the back seats yet??? Man, the leg room is better in a civic coupe. Overall, I really like the interior. I'm plan on going to a dealer mid December and picking one off the lot to take advantage of the 179 tax deduction. Plus the cars hitting the dealers around now have the fridge in the console with the lux package. If you are interested in a base and can wait until January 06 you will be able to order the Dynamic Response on the HSE.

    Well the dealership gave me a 4.4 to drive for a few days, like the vehicle but can't see myself owning a non SC model.
