What planet has he been on. 8 months after launch and he says a petrol versions on the way - HELLO! MDP and RRUK what are you driving? The Q7 has he driven one off road yet, has he driven one at all? I doubt it - bring back the blonde bit from Tatler magazine! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

i wouldnt sweat it...these car magazine little quibs are just lame...the Q7 isnt exactly made for offroading...i would say "light" offroading would be more of what they are made for. www.vip-culture.com | 06 RRS HSE | 06 Odyssey Touring

I think to an extent he is right (I'll get my coat now) look at the difference between the D3 and RRS forums. The D3 owners are much more LR aficionados that are into off road ability and utility. On this side few have owned a LR product before and have been tempted by the sporty 4x4 bit, with the off road ability a distinct second place. LR should have made a more powerful diesel from the outset. The Merc and Audi engines are much better from a performance point of view, but LR have never used powerful engines the current RR is a case in point, VW put a beast of a V10 in RR has a weedy detuned X5 engine!

I agree, my time on D3 was a lot about content and less about the shine. I am clearly in the 'new to the brand' category.

Yep, I think that sums up the difference quite well. In my eyes, the D3 site is much more green wellies and Barbour jackets, whereas this site does seem to be a little more blingified ![]() ![]() 2009 Outstanding Contribution Award - Joint Runner Up 2009 'Tech-Head Of The Year' Award - Runner Up Like it here?

I know one or two of the Autocar people but not Chas Hallet - the writer of that article - he's always "a bit of a dick" and this time is no exception. 11 XFR
