That basically sums up my decision a few years ago when I had an E70 X5 4.8 that I chose over the RR Sport Supercharged. Loved the styling and the fact that, while they were becoming more prevalent, they were still less "around" than X5's.. but the X5 out performed it all around, and the reliability was what turned me off as well. That and the handling, too top heavy, especially compared to the X5 and the Infiniti FX45 I had been driving before I got the X5. The Range Rovers are damn tempting though. After my X5 lease was up, I looked at them again for my wife, and again, chose to pass because I was worried about reliability..............
