Rover or Cruiser? I was just wondering....
...if anyone can assist me resolving my dilemma. As a subset of the big ongoing LandRover or LandCruiser debate. Should it be a LD4 or the new LC5?
What for I hear you ask? Ok, for motorway miles in safety n comfort, for city driving in safety n comfort, for the occasional splash in the sticky stuff - as those days spent greenroading with me mate in me old Lanny are long gone - thats what for. Any advice welcome Ta.Wake me when its over...

If you want limousine style road travel with the capability to off road with the best, there is only one choice out of those two.

Is the LC5 the new Prado?
Prado is smaller.

Having seen the LC5 .....I consider that the very fact that you are even making a comparison with the D4 means that there can only be but one simple and straightforward answer to your plight

The comparable Landcruiser is the 200 series (Amazon) - which will cost you a lot more than a D4.
