Not in my experience or anyone else here so I tend to not to believe any of that especially when the GL is basically "junk" to you anyway.

How about we move on (the discussion, not the seats).
 
Thanks.

Every car dealer bashes everyone, but their own.
 
I currently own a 05 Range Rover and have been very happy with the product. No problems, drives through anything, but the gas station. I'm thinking of trading it in for the Supercharge Range Rover. I looked at the GL, but it resembles the Toyota Forerunner. I own and owned several Mercedes and have to say that their quality has gone down tremendously. What lured me to buy our current Mercedes was the lease special that they had. How could I pass up a $55K car for $515.00 with tax for 27 months at 15K miles a year. It makes a great third car.

I agree sometimes salesmen can go overboard with their comments; though, there is no reason to believe the salesman attempted to may the Range Rover look better than the GL.
 
As it relates to Land Rover’s quality, I've had 25K trouble free miles on my 2005 Range Rover, which is more than I can say about the unreliable Benz I traded. I’ve seen too many older model Land Rovers on the road in the five states I’ve lived in to believe the majority of Land Rovers are as unreliable as the surveys report. Feel free to believe whatever you want!!!
 
Even if I currently had minor problems, I'd still buy another Land Rover. The classic styling EASILY turns heads. Certainly the same can’t be said about the boring soccer mom minivan look of the GL. $65K for a souped up M-Class, err minivan – no thanks!!!

Style is in the eye of the beholder. Those I know consider the LR an ugly shoe box and only turn their heads in courtesy prior to ralfing. Just another opinion. I wouldn't trade my GL for a Brit safari truck.

Well not to revist that issue, but I think you need to read those posts again. When you start calling things "junk" and what not it appears to be but a plug for whatever product you're selling.
 
The GL is a just a larger ML for sure, but it is no mini-van.
 
I'd take a Range Rover Sport Supercharged over the GL or ML too, well except for maybe the ML63 AMG. I said from the beginning that Land Rover still has the edge in luxury SUVs over various offerings from MB, BMW, Audi, Lexus and Cadillac. Land Rovers are unique while the others aren't so much so, IMO.

As I stated previously my post was taken from another thread entirely and inserted into this one. I made a quick blurb in the thread about my initial impressions on the GL and was planning to come back and make a more complete review of the vehicle.
 
I never really got the chance as by the time I had a chance to drive the truck and shoot some video with my little digital camera the posts had already been moved here and I was being attacked.
 
I have already asked if anyone wanted to see the video from my more complete review but I am not going to pust it if I am going to be crucified.

Hello. The msrp is $55675 as per mbusa.com. Consumer Reports reports that the bottom line price this vehicle can be had is for $49410. Edmunds says the invoice is for $51057. So, lets hear about some of your buying/negotiating/getting a deal out there. Who's getting the best deal, how much did you pay, what options, where, and how did you do it? I'd appreciate it and I'm positive there are others will appreciate it as well. Thank you.
