I am concern about the gas guzzling feature of land rover too. I hope the LR2 will be lighter. I am also consider the Mitsubishi outlander 2007. Consumer reports indicate the new outlander has much improved in power, sound proofing, agility compare to 2006 model. Outlander 2006 is reliable and good on fuel economy.

I am getting older thus I want a cushy 4WD vehicle that can handle rough winter weather. I just don't want to stoop low into a car hauling my outdoor gear out. It is rough work on my back despite that I am still in fit condition.

Toyota RAV4 2007 look nice from exterior however its interior is a bit too spartan. The price of RAV4 is quite expensive in Canada. it isn't cheap SUV except for base model 4cyl. I am tired of driving a 4 cyl engine. I want a really quiet & serene V6 that absorbs road noise with aplomb while cruising at HWY speed. Besides, I have very sensitive hearing hence I can't tolerate noisy interior of any vehicle.
