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

    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...

    Actually, I do like the Range Rover Sport.

    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.

    Really, I am suprised. That is an awful lot of wonga.

    I've only ever looked at the S4 and having just looked at autotrader I'm also suprised to find that newer S4 only have a 3.0l V6.

    Q7s look better in drug dealer circles nowadays.
