What is this discussion about? Land Rover LR2, SUV

Article comments for First Drive: 2008 Land Rover LR2 - The LR2's bodywork is an interesting patchwork of Land Rover's design language. The slab-sided doors and unusual D-post are pinched from the LR3, while the black frame around the rear window comes from the Range Rover. (more)

Replying to: rockylee (Feb 17, 2007 7:22 am) Why would you compare these two ? Steve wasn't making the comparison. Other knowledgable participants in this discussion were making the comparison. Have you looked at Land Rover LR2 v Jeep Patriot? tidester, host

#24 of 26 First Drive review by lville Sep 05, 2007 (4:50 am)
"you find yourself making constant corrections on the highway, which is both frustrating and tiring." You editor guys must be driving a different car. I own one, and have no idea what you're talking about. In fact, the LR2 is one of the most relaxing vehicles of its type to drive on the highway.

Replying to: lville (Sep 05, 2007 4:50 am) Exactly I think Edmunds and C&D either didn't really drive the LR2 or drove a different car and got confused. Neither of their reviews fit anything I have experience when driving a LR2.
#26 of 26 seems best for the outback by kurtamaxxxguy Feb 07, 2008 (8:16 am)
Given many Edmunds reviews come from factory presentations of new or revised products, I can't see how either Edmunds or C&D could possibly be driving anything else but what they write about. Then again, sometimes the mfr's offer preproduction samples for test. The Edmunds and C&D reviews suggest the LR2's really more at home in the outback than on local highways. When I saw the L2 at a local auto show, the LR reps (both from the factory) claimed the LR2 weighed 3600 pounds, which doesn't match the reports nor their own specs! How odd.
