I've been shopping for nice 7-passenger SUV's and though I looked at the American offerings, it just seems the German's have more solid bodies....my 99 ML320 just hit 145k miles and not one creak or rattle with a solid motor.

We have an RX already in the family and figured our next SUV would be nice to seat 7 people.

Obvious choice was the Acura MDX but I also looked the GL450 and this past weekend I went to drive the LR$ Land Rover and loved it! Amazingly the price wasn't too bad either (they had a 2011 demo with 1300 miles for asking $57k.

What do you guys think of Range Rover as a brand? I heard of horror stories with electrical problems on the older models. How are the new ones?

I don't know much about this brand so any input from experience is appreciated

[QUOTE="EuroBoutique, post: 1449855, member: 8868"] I've been shopping for nice 7-passenger SUV's and though I looked at the American offerings, it just seems the German's have more solid bodies....my 99 ML320 just hit 145k miles and not one creak or rattle with a solid motor. We have an RX already in the family and figured our next SUV would be nice to seat 7 people. Obvious choice was the Acura MDX but I also looked the GL450 and this past weekend I went to drive the LR$ Land Rover and loved it! Amazingly the price wasn't too bad either (they had a 2011 demo with 1300 miles for asking $57k. What do you guys think of Range Rover as a brand? I heard of horror stories with electrical problems on the older models. How are the new ones? I don't know much about this brand so any input from experience is appreciated :) rick [/QUOTE]
