Another vehicle for those wanna be gangsters to put 22’s under. Oh jump for joy. My next vehicle will need to be high enough to see over the SUV traffic we have. It’s getting scarier every day to drive a car and pray a SUV doesn’t hit me!

@Pahaska:

It’s like I’ve said before. Brand values work…until they don’t, then they’re useless.

How do they still run the adventure themed commercials while planning to build this?

The Landy brand is nearly dead in the US. Unless you identify with cocked caps and heavy gold jewelry you are less and less likely to want a new Landy.

Nice! Is it a good idea to dilute the Land Rover brand with CUVs though???

Off-road capability doesn’t mean a thing to the LR owners I see in this neck of the woods. The most any one of them gets “off-road” is to have to park on the lawn when the driveway is jammed full at a party.

My next door neighbor, a secretary at a real estate firm, owned a LR. She liked the high seating position to see better in traffic. Other than that, it was just another commuter SUV.

Justin,

I know what will cheer you up…. Orange Mocha Frappucinos!

And we can put the LRX to death in a freak gasoline fight…

It’s not as weird looking as the 2009 Infiniti FX50.
