Cool looking SUV, you can tell that the Ford Explorer and Range/Land Rover had the same designers.

Bingo. I actually saw a commercial for the new Range Rover on TV and at first I thought it was a new Explorer. I don't know how the Range Rover people are going to react. It has totally lost that boxy but sexy look which is what made Range Rovers stand out.

Wow, this is a great looking vehicle inside and out and given the Land Rover brand name I'm shocked that this thing has an MSRP in the low-mid 40s. Seems like a 'relative' bargain.

If only their brand wasn't know for being the biggest POS on the road...

I disagree with "best of anything/ofthe year" 'awards'. More affordable contenders always lose.

I don't know about that, but the fact that it has to be a new design usually limits it to basically one vehicle anyway.

I think it is cool they are offering a 2 door version. I hope they do that for the next gen Tahoe.
