[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve driven the Toyota Highlander and think it is an excellent car. I’d be happy to have one. But better than a RR sport in every metric?

When is the last time a Highlander did this?  Which would you really like to drive?

Perhaps that wasn't accurate of me to say "every metric", because the RR does have more horsepower than our Highlander. I should've said "every metric that WE care about"... the greatest of which being not having it in the dealership every couple months for something not working.

I don't really care about how fast it goes around corners, because it will never go around corners better than the 2002 Corvette I've owned for a decade, and it will never perform better off-road than the 2011 Jeep Rubicon parked in the garage next to our Vette.

I've been a "car guy" my whole adult life. I've owned dozens of cars. Most of them were personality and ego cars. Sports cars, muscle cars, trucks to tow trailers hauling sports cars too twitchy to drive on the street, performance sedans, and very few "ordinary" cars. I knew the RR was going be trouble because I know cars. My wife, not so much. Sometimes you just have to let people see for themselves. She loved the Rover, but only until she realized it was garbage, which was sometime in the second year, after multiple weeks driving dealer loaners while hers was being fixed (again).

I don’t think a guy who drives a 2002 vette as his “fun car” can afford to go out and buy a $100k RR as an “I told you so” experiment for his wife. Your story would have been more believable if she had traded in the Range for a 2005 Chevy Cobalt.[/quote]
