The old one looks like a safari truck. Not my cup o' tea. :)

I looked at the photo gallery of the LR3 and I see I don't like it. It still has that weird looking back on it.

The Discovery was brought out as sort half way between the two.

This is like ours

It's a 4L V8 Automatic, Jasper Conrad designed interior type thing.

No it's the same. Just like the new LR3 is named such but is basically a Discovery.

You gotta remember...I'm American.

read the other reviews of the car, there's 3 on the site i linked to. they say it actually handles very well, and is based off stability technology they aquired after they bought Mecedes ;)

it might have been another magazine or site, can't remeber exactly :unsure: but i remember reading it :lol:

@busyman - bling bling fo0 :lol:

Not really.

I have the trick door and chrome 17" wheels (not on right now because it's winter).

I don't have 20's or TV's in the headrest. I have to allocate money for more important stuff right now and can't 2000+ dollars for niceties. Hell I'm trying to get an addition on the house this spring....I'm poor.

I have one portable DVD player for the 3-year old even though I prefer me and her running our mouths instead of the idiot box.

is a trick door like an acme hole in a wall, where it looks open the people bump into the door and swear?

It's hidden and good for keeping valuables.

It itself, is expensive to put in but well worth it.

handling is based on WAY more than your suspension setup :lol:

and when i said "stability technology" i was refering to the computers that have been showing up in newer cars which calculate for certain road conditions and adjust, in in milliseconds, for pretty much any road hazard to improve handling ;)

i've read of certain one's that can actually correct a driver's over-correction to prevent fishtailing and what not. i don't think it comes stock with any cars at the moment, but a sweet technology none the less :)

btw, Mercedes is freakin german. so, what's the US have to do with anything? :blink:

so suspension then?

i dont know much about cars so i dont know if thats at me or with me. i thought suspension was suspension whether its leafsprings or computer controlled hydrolics.

cant they just say better suspension or advanced suspension or we went to europeland and, apparently we're 100 years behind

yall completely overlooked the big picture, as usuall. yes, i was talking about suspension. but, it's still based on way more than that <_<

go replace a SUV's loose suspension with a really tight one and watch how fast that fucker flips over. then tell me, it had nothing to do with the SUV being top heavy with a front mounted engine :rolleyes:

btw, just because im from America and disagree with you doesn't mean you should start calling me a racist and shit. i didn't say anything bad about europe, i actually complemented the german's on their engeineering, which you left out yer quote :rolleyes:

pessimistic people, grrrrr <_<

i never said anything like that, and i dont understand you.

but yes, pessimism is a british trait

british? blasphemy :ohmy: !

uh. sure....?

yes, obviously solved or answered :P

@dave - i know, i kinda went over the deep end there, i'll admit. it's just when you acted like i was disagreeing with you souly because you were from europe kinda pissed me off. as i don't judge people on their race/gender/sexual preference/loacation/whatever, and i don't like people thinking i do. you see where i'm going with this ;)

basicly, what got me going to begin with was how JPaul said the car sucked simply because it was american. that's was a nice judegment by the way, considering how you haven't even drove the damn thing. plus the fact someone that has drove it says it handles like a dream. but keep judging things based on the origins, you'll go real far in life with that attitude :rolleyes:

None of the above. :dry:




Get a Mini.

me and meni, dahhhhh
its waaaaaaay small for me and i cant go long tour with it.

Well, I managed to sleep in mine. :01:



Mini's rawk.
