Talk me out of buying a V8 petrol 4x4

[DimPrawn]

Oil burning V10 VW toe-rag?

Slower than the petrol 4.8is X5 and about 2 mpg better on fuel. No V8 roar loud enough to make pedestrian scowl at you on the school run.

Hurry up and buy it. More CO2 please it's bloody cold outside.

Range Rover it is then.

I'll never go off road, so what's the point?

Actually, I do like the Range Rover Sport.

Come the uprising when the proles take over you'll be glad you've got a 4x4 to escape off road.

Be prepared. Dib dib dib.

I've had numerous 4x4's over the years including the V6 X5 but the 4.8s is the dogs danglies ...

I would still get a Range Rover over that though. I've had 2 before and even though they break down all the time, and you get to know the AA Breakdown driver on first name terms, they're just addictive. In fact, I'm gonna look for another one now...

It does the job, but lacks any sort of premium image and is painfully sloooooow.

Sounds perfect for you.
