The price that you're paying for what technical achievement? That Range Rover/LR4 are driven by most people in urban conditions and most people never would consider taking that thing off road and they STILL have problems. 




Sounds like you're someone who doesn't really research cars. 


- You're missing the point.  Land Rovers / Range Rover's were never intended to be daily drivers, akin to say a mid-size sedan (ford fusion / honda accord / toyota camry/ nissan altima, etc.)  The Range Rover is a purpose built vehicle...and
fantastic at what it was designed to do.  The fact that people happen to like the appearance of the vehicle and, consequently, use it as a daily driver is an interesting aside (contributing to eventual mechanical problems).  If you're worried about vehicle lifespan, get and keep the warranty or lease it.

i had a white one and it was nice and picked up alot of girls. but it was in the shop every three months.

i ask the technician why i had to bring it in so much, when i never had to bring in my escalade to the shop. he just told that the car has over 100 computers compared to 20 something to the escalade
