Out of curiousity, what would you buy today if you didn't have the LR4? Closest thing I can think of (boxy SUV w/ 3 rows thats not too long) is probably the Lexus GX. Doesnt look as cool as the LR4 to be sure. |

If I had a garage that could fit any SUV, I'd consider a few others along with GX. I still like the Mercedes SUVs but like all the Germans they are very expensive. For a good deal, I'd consider an Acadia/Traverse/Enclave version. I'd really have to test drive a bunch. It has been over 7 years since I spent time looking at SUVs in that category. |

I really like the way the Aviator looks, and the specs are pretty compelling. I haven't driven either that or the Explorer yet, though. But everyone says Kia/Hyundai have solved this problem better than anyone, and that the Telluride/Palisade are THE hot ticket in the segment. Worth putting up with Kia dealers? Idk, they can't be any worse than Honda dealers, can they? |

Just happened to see that Doug Demuro uploaded this video recently:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAezax2ugQU (sub 30k Panamera). Will have to take a look later. First gen Panamera isn't my favorite design, but under 30k starts to be interesting. Interior of the car in his video looks super nice. Not sure it's something you'd want to try and keep for 10+ years though. |

Coming up to 9 years with the 1M. Don't see any reason it won't go beyond 10.

Not saying our LR4 has not depreciated, but it has held up a lot better than a similar vintage Acadia. Though to be fair, it only has 42k miles after 6.5 years. |
