Opinions on Land Rover LR2


My wife and I currently lease a Benz GLK350 and the lease is up soon. MB offered us a fair deal on a new one, but it's basically the same car, despite their claim that over 1000 parts have been changed, including the engine. We were thinking that the LR2 seems pretty cool, at about the same price for a base model which is plenty for us - well, for my wife actually. I get the Civic. Any LR2 owners out there? Also appreciate any input on the new X3 or Tiguan, which are also in the running.

@Bojack - you shouldn't care what kind of car I drive. I care, as I have to pay for it and drive it. @Mlawtm - We've had a set of Townecraft for over 30 years and they are incredible. Not a lifetime product, but a multi-lifetime product. Quite pricey, but supreme quality.
Never, never buy a crummy Land Rover, over-priced yuppy POS with lousy sound system, ugly to boot.
Schubert - As to your first comment, I haven't checked out the car yet, so I might end up agreeing with you after further research. BTW, do you have any experience with these vehicles, or is this just a personal bias? As to your second comment - apology accepted.
You are getting close to Porsche Cayenne territory and nothing not even the range rover can touch that bad boy IMHO. I test drove everything out there and there is no comparison.
