Well, I spent the weekend actually drviing the new LR3. I have to say it is one very nice ride. Ive been lucky enough to have been taken on a serious off-road ride back in January when we visited Australia. These trucks are solid both on and off road. I did not find the consol hard to understand and it seemd to have enough road pep for me. (issues others have thought were a knock on the LR3). I think we'll make the move on the 2009 and work for a great deal. While the LR4 may have more HP, I'm not sure I really care. The tow rating stays the same and I dont plan on racing this vehicle. I hope to be a regular formum member some time soon.

Thanks to all hose who have responded.
