Disco 5: Let the depression set in

I never drink those. Margaritas - really anything that is a pretty drink. I'll be in Mexico next month, so I'll be sure to post up some lovely drink pics for you.
Baja North. Then back again in the Fall for a more extended time down around San Felipe or El Centenario. Then even more extended time next year.
But I'll be back in Yucatan again hopefully in the next 12 months. Have a lot of travel happening in 2017. Fucking Russia in September.
Fuck Cancun. That's where all the white trash and discount cruise ship people "party" and then wear their Cancun t-shirts on their return flight to Alabama.
2018 Ford Expedition FX4. Not a fan of the grill, but at least some marques are still making real SUVs.

I too am a fan of the 4Runner. If nothing else it would appear at least Toyota gets it and gets the market. If I have to hear one more LR commercial about the "Urban Jungle" I'm going to lose my shit.
The new Expeditions with the 3.5 Ecoboost are great driving trucks. I don't think they'd be all that great off road, but if you're shopping for a large three-row SUV that actually has some space behind the third row, your only other choice in that size category is the Suburban, and the Expedition feels like a nicer vehicle.
I like the LR3 and LR4 looks. I prefer boxy vehicles. I liked that they at least looked Land Rover. I almost bought one for my wife but we went with a GX470 instead because I tend to live in shittier areas that have toyota support but not Rover support. I probably would have bought one for myself to replace the odyssey beater I drive, but my brother offered me his Grand Cherokee when he left the country for five years.
I even like the Evoque for what it is. What I don't like is every Land Rover looking like a curved variance of it in small medium large and "average" trim and "excessive" trim. No matter how nice they are and how reliable they may be to me it comes down to looks. Everything in the line up looks bad to me. I'm holding out hope for the Defender replacement but not anticipating any hope.

By comparison to the new "Discovery", yes, absolutely. They were unique, distinct within their class, and weren't simply a version of an average American SUV with an LR badge. Admittedly, they've grown on my over the years from my initial reaction to the loss of solid axles and alpine windows. But there's no comparison between these vehicles and the Mark V. Just MHO, of course.
