Replying to: brianm801 (Mar 06, 2007 11:04 am) My guess... we won't see any of the other cars we looked at on the trails   Here's one for you.. go to youtube.com and do a search on "Top Gear Rover Hummer H2"   Top Gear went to the US Southwest and did a head-to-head with a Range Rover vs. a Hummer H2 vs. a Escalade.   Challenge was to get to the top is a fairly steep hill/mountain that the locals said "You CAN drive up there, but you need a pretty good vehicle to do it."   Guess who won?   Or for something more relevant, do a youtube search for or "Top Gear LR3 Discovery 3"   They drove an LR3 up a Scottish mountain where nobody had ever been able to drive there before.   You may also want to do a youtube search on "Top Gear Audi Q7" where they describe it as 6% uglier than your average Troll" I tend to agree with them. For an Audi, it lacks a lot of the design queues that attract me to that brand.   Personally, I love my LR3, but I would have liked about 4-6 more inches of space behind the 3rd row for baby strollers, bags, etc..

Replying to: dandrews1 (Mar 06, 2007 11:23 am) They drove an LR3 up a Scottish mountain where nobody had ever been able to drive there before   Because every other landowner had protected the site from abuse before a bunch of money was waived around, and even then they had to dig the LR3 out of the bogs a few times. The pics of guys having fun at Turkey Bay in Kentucky are way more fun than seeing that LR3 churn up the grass.   Now, Top Gear's coverage of the Ariel Atom - now that was a movie.

V6 LR3 is discontinued for 2008 not 2007. I have several 2007 V6 LR3s running around as service loaners right now. Replies to this message: matrsoskin (Mar 06, 2007 3:03 pm) british_rover (Mar 08, 2007 6:40 am)

Replying to: british_rover (Mar 06, 2007 2:01 pm) The information regarding 2007 LR3 V6 has been provided to me by a manager of a local LR dealership. According to him, they have stoped receiving the LR3 V6 models since February, 2007. The bottom line is that the inventory of the above model is limited, so will be the tech support in the nearest future.   Matroskin Replies to this message: british_rover (Mar 08, 2007 6:40 am)

Replying to: matrsoskin (Mar 06, 2007 3:03 pm) Well 2007 MY was a short production run for all Land Rover models. We ordered our first set of 2008 MY Land Rovers last month.   2007 MY V6 LR3 models exist out in the market place and you will be able to buy one for quiet some time.   As for tech support considering the V6 LR3 is exactly the same as the V8 model except for the engine, which is shared with many other Ford Family products, I wouldn't worry about tech support.

Replying to: tm255 (Mar 05, 2007 3:31 am) I hope I'm not too late on buying an 05 0r any LR3. Make sure you check wholesale prices. A used 06 in Chicago with a $49,900 sticker is now $27,000. Nobody even wants to take it on trade. Chicago Land Rover Naperville and Land Rover Schaumburg dealers are selling used Calf lemon law cars,beware.
