<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Why oh why do people think it's OK to compare an H2 to a Range Rover?

Here in the UK there are Thousands upon thousands of Range Rovers (my parents actually drive one), and I can honestly say, without any shadow of a doubt that they are not even in the same ballpark as an H2. Hell, they ain't even playing the same sport!

They're clunky inside, feel very agricultural, aren't reliable, and don't have the ground clearance or off-roading equipment of the H2. Add to that underpowered, thirsty engines (unless you buy the gutless diesel), and you're onto something which is massively overpriced, tasteless and will take a nose dive in value quicker than it empties it's first tank of fuel.

Everytime I see comments about how "great" RR's are, I literally cringe - they're rich people's sleds here, and everyone treats them with the contempt they deserve. They blow.

I'm never taking my H2 off road - I bought it for the "bling" factor (and the fact that it looks like a big Tonka toy), but I know for a fact it'd take a big ol' steamy piss over any lousy range rover.

I was also gonna post a rant of this nature on that Mercedes Benz forum, but I figured they were so dumb they wouldn't believe a word of it anyway - I have very wide experience of european cars, and I'd NEVER, EVER buy a Land\Range Rover. Ew. Ew ew ew. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


Now that right there's funny . I think i'll share that post with some of the Disco fellows
