Or maybe you should just trade it in for something else.

Indeed. But if that sells...

Anyway, Land-Rover have obviously completely given up on any actual off-
road ability now. That much has been obvious since the original Freelunch
was launched, and merely reinforced with the L322 Rangie, Disco3 and
Rangie Sport. Especially the latter pair. Get one of those stuck (and,
with that little ground clearance, you will), and it's time to call in
air support to get the fat fucker out. At least the P38a Rangie had
_some_ off-road ability, if not as much as the original or Disco.

Something like 35,000 in the first year - and outselling the Cayenne in
some markets.

Further proof that money and taste are rarely in proportion.
