I was looking at the WSJ and saw a review on the LR3 the blurb on the cover of section W said "over the river, through suburbia. We drive the Land Rover LR3 to see if a trip to the mall requres "hill decent control"
For the most part it was complimentary. However it was using the Disco II as a comparison more than any other car. It sighted a need to improve sales as "Discovery's sales sagged 21% since 1999 to 17,420 last year and are down a further 23% this year, to less than half the sales of rivals like the BMW X5 and Lincoln Navigator."
They also called it for what it was stating, "Land Rover has softened its midsize SUV to appeal to people who actually buy it: baby boomers whose journeys almost never include unpaved surfaces." and "...On the other hand, it doeds have gadgets such as Hill Descent Control, which modulates the brakes and throttle while driving down steep grades... Neat features, even if you never use them."
It has one soccer mom stating, "I like it because it's different and cool, not frumpy like most of the other mommy cars."
just thought I would share.
