I also detest that commercial.

First, comparing driving that tub to performing actual physical sports is absurd.

2nd, this is one of many car commercials that promotes aggressive driving, whether the car or driver can handle it.

3rd, IMO all Range Rovers are truly dumb vehicles. Horrid reliability, rotten gas mileage, nosebleed costs. Ugh. I have yet to meet an owner that didn't have lots of horror stories about the car breaking.

How people get suckered into these is beyond me.

It is true that I think 96% of all SUVs are truly dumb, the exceptions being people who off-road or tow. But, my distaste for these has been covered in other threads.

For snow, a mid-weight Subaru, Audi or similar would be much more useful, as they are light enough to get moving, turn and stop.

I get by with fwd easily, as the roads in winter are rarely actually snow-covered....maybe 1-2 days/year in NJ.

I'd want my primary car to be way more reliable.

sorry...but you asked my opinion.
