Do you actually own one? I have a 2019 Sport and none of them (Tysons, Alexandria, Bethesda) do loaners post-COVID, let alone concierge dropoff service to your door. |
), you get to put mileage on their loaner SUV.

| There are a ton in Chicago. Majority are Lincoln Park and Gold Coast private school Moms. Lots of G Wagons and the large Teslas too. |

| They are the ultimate Veblen good. Superficially good, but actually poor quality, high cost of ownership, unproductive, worse than cheaper goods, and on and on. |

Reliable, low-maintenance, inexpensive Japanese cars! |

You’ve probably never had a quality car in your life, poor dear. |

| They must come with canada goose jackets from the dealer at this point. Their owners come off the same assembly line as the car. |

I don’t know about you, but I keep lots of important stuff in my car - strollers, stuff for the dog, my work items, kids toys, clothes, umbrellas, electronics adapters, all manner of stuff I need almost every day. The idea of having to move all of it to a service loaner and then back again every time my vehicle went to the shop for more than a couple hours not appealing at all. It’s a major inconvenience. If you can just hop out of one car and right into another and go on as if nothing happened, I truly don’t understand you. We live very, very different lives. |

| Ford took over Land Rover around 2000 and for a moment, the quality and reliability improved. Tata then acquired the company around 2008 or so and things seem to have gone downhill with regard to design and engineering. |

New money. They feel a need to show people they have a high spend rate. Old money are still driving bland looking F-150s, Expeditions, or Broncos.

DP, but Yes, the 1950s and 1960s models were pretty reliable work vehicles, were easily repaired (because of pretty simple construction), and were good off pavement workhorses, although their ride was horrible (e.g., leaf springs for much of that period). At that time, it was not much of a “status” vehicle. |

They're for fools with money who are easily departed with their loot.
Range rovers have consistently been bottom of be barrel trash for reliability for like the last 30 years. Just terrible cars. Lol, our neighbor bought a new one about 1.5 years ago. It's been in the shop probably 2-3 times. I can tell became they're constantly having to drive a loaner. The last fix must have been really long, because they were driving a loaner for what seems 4-6 months. |

Nope! They come with moncler jackets. How dare you to think Range Rover drives wear Canadá Goose 🙄 Same goes to the Mercedes Wagon, the insane RR SUV and Bentleys. Tacky tacky |
