Saw an LR3 at my dealer today - Land Rovers Only

Bigger than I thought it would be. Its almost the size of the Range Rover. Lots of buttons and knobs around the driver's cabin. Sits very low to the ground, but the dealer said it had better ground clearance than the Discovery when in "off-road" mode.

Just not sure what to make of the IFS/IRS trend, especially in Land Rovers. I guess its "evolve or dissolve".

We had one off the road last weekend, it is a little hard to get used to but it does well and stay up with the 40 plus Rovers that were out playing.

I have always loved the way the Disco looks. It's simply classic. I just purchased a java black '04 Disco II about 2 months ago and I absolutely love it. I gave serious thought to waiting for an LR3 but in the end I just felt it looked too mainstream. I'm glad I went with the Disco.

Too new looking for me...too much $$ for me right now anyway.
