LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. This is the perfect discussion for this board. Have any of you actually seen a real life 300td anything? Those things suck complete whole entire sweaty ***. They cant get out of they're own way, let alone pull into 55 mph traffic like here in NJ. Sure you can pull a building down while tied to a tree while pulling a 40 foot boat in low range... But that's it, it's like trying to change your taillight, or tighten your throttle body heater screws with a 1/2 inch breaker bar. Smokey, Noisy, Slow, Harsh, Diesel.
You certainly nailed.

I agree with you, the rear windshield is awesome compared to the tiny portholes you have on some comparable SUVs. I particularly can't stand the 84-01 Cherokee rear window. What I'm getting at is that from time to time I am walking up from behind, and I just kind of think to myself "wow that is one ugly *** end of a car".

I cannot even comprehend your statement binvanna. I don't know how to respond. There's a reason the TDi swap Rovers North offered for NAS D90s was hugely popular. The 300TDi is MUCH preferred to any V8 LR offered, torquey enough, GREAT GAS MILEAGE(not sure what you meant by bad mileage, it gets near 30 in a vehicle shaped like a brick) and QUITE reliable. The Rover V8 is in no way a lusted after engine, it's joke.
Also, in your quote you mention diesel as a bad thing... what?

What I don't like? Well really there are only a couple of things- 1) Coil pack on the back top of engine and 2) the SAI that it is buried under. However that thought goes away quickly when I can easily spot my car in a sea of toyota's, honda's, etc.

Dont know about you but i sure wouldnt want my two little boys who ride in the back to have a volume control. I think the lack of audio controls goes on the plus side.

The rear door is so much better than what they have on new SUV's. Look at these squat little windows and tell me you can see anything out of those from the other end of a long cabin interior:
