Love the choice. Was thinking of that for myself, but too much $ and not enough handling performance for my driving habits

Given how you like taking the corners, I can't imagine you having a vehicle with a high center of gravity (at least not as your primary ride). I know that that's true for me. The RR is a sweet looking vehicle. But its reliability ratings are so poor that I would look to other brands for a SUV. But nothing looks better in the SUV class.

I needed a practical SUV instead of the E60, So I just went to my nearest Range Rover dealer and traded my 2010 530i for the new RRS HSE and its a good thing that they traded it for a reasonable price especially when the new 5 series is out. I test drove it and I couldn't stand how smooth it rode and the V8 sounded like... I had to get it, it was like driving on clouds
Sorry guys I just needed more space and more practicality when I'm offroading and when I'm carrying 4+ people with me and I'll be receiving it on the 23rd hopefully
The color I got is Santorini Black and Tan interior

yeah ummm, I don't know if you guys have taken a Range Rover off-road but they are pretty incredible machines. I am not talking about jumping rocks , but they can handle some pretty crazy terrain. I know they are "pretty cars" but they perform too. The reliabilty issue however is totally diffrent story.
