It's a luxury SUV that is used by many wealthy families to take their kids to soccer practice all over the world. It is seldom used in jungle terrain and is no more impractical on US roads than any other SUV. However, it is considered the finest, most well built, best resale value and reliable SUV in the world. That alone should make anyone wanting an SUV take a look at it.

Isn't it also considered to be merely a glorified Toyota Land Cruiser?

Actually the glorified comment has some merit. Someone might see me in it and may be impressed seeing the the ā€œLā€ in the grille.

I test drove various models each time I was shopping for another family vehicle. Never was impressed enough. Liked Audi more, even with some electric issues, especially bulb replacements. Drives and handles better. We ordered a different plain grille without the cross bar. No emblem at all needed. I think removing emblems with sharp aftermarket wheels looks really great on many vehicles. Not all, but many. But I suspect the L in the grille is important to some. Understated looks are really great and brings on the styling more in my opinion. I just bought a car with side emblems delete and chrome to black emblems on the rear on a black body color by the factory. As understated a look as I could get. Others seem to like it. Then the car speaks for itself.

It's basically a doctored-up Land Cruiser, yes. The thing about Land Cruisers is that they are engineered to last an average of 25 years. That's why so many 90's-era Land Cruisers are still on the road doing just fine. They're one of the best vehicles money can buy and it will probably still be trucking along long after most other luxury SUVs have been sent to the great crusher in the sky.

Longevity does not make it the best car. Maybe for bills. But there are far better choices. Comfort, whisper quiet, amenities, power, handling, braking.
