Thanks Matticus, that's really informative.

This is a quote taken from a review of the Land Cruiser on the top gear website from 2007: "We're only going to get one version in the UK, and that means top-spec and V8 diesel, which is fine, as Toyota is only planning to sell about 500 in the next year to rich people who really don't like...

Thanks for letting me know. Really cool.

So that leads me to a question about the competition. How would you rank the following vehicles (highest to lowest) for off-road ability: Range Rover L405 Discovery G-Class Porsche Cayenne Land Cruiser BMW x5 Nissan Patrol Mitsubishi Shogun

It has been an amazing experience talking to you guys. One that has certainly forced me think about upping my game in future to be able to engage with such passionate and knowledgeable people. Well, so far nobody has come forward on the research side. I'm going take Jonnyb's advice and try...

OK. Mercedes are importing the updated "G Class" model into the UK as a direct competitor to the Range Rover. In your opinion, and this is about your preferences, which vehicle would you choose for off-road driving and why?

Do you think that the G Waggen is also a valid alternative to RR?

Which target market do you think the Range Rover should be aimed at? What should it bee good at?

OK, what pieces of constructive advice would you give to the R&D Team? What actions would you recommend to get a better balance between off road capability/overall reliability/usability and luxury?

If you do a telephone interview with me, yes!

Thanks kind sir!

Hands up. Numpty is the word. For the record I'm not an engineering student. I'm studying at the Business School of Imperial College. Although I used to own a classic mini jet black and spent many an enjoyable weekend trying to repair whatever went wrong the preceding week.

Hypothetically speaking, if they offered a base model without the gizmos, would you buy one? Or would you want to see more changes?

Thanks Datatek. What is KISS technology? Are you referring to the high precision measurement tools?

Thanks!
