Very good read.

I especially liked this comment:

You'll need a passenger with oven mitts in a Mercedes-Benz SL 550 roadster; there aren't any cupholders

Surely if you have an SL550 you just have your man follow you around in the Range Rover with your coffee? :confused:

I saw an ad on TV recently comparing I think a Hyundai Santa Fe and a Range Rover and the Hyundai supposedly beat the Range Rover in the slalom and the accident avoidance but the Range Rover won in number of cup holders. :D:lol:

Thats cos the santa fe is a jacked up sonata or elantra ( i forget which), but the range rover is properly engineered for off road excursions (parking closer to the Polo presumably).

I wouldn't know or care I wouldn't buy either vehicle.

As for cup holders, a totally useless addition to any vehicle in my humble opinion. :p

Now if they can figure out how to mount a Blackberry to the steering wheel so I can text, while driving I'm on it. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
