I see you really need the high platform to cope with all that smooth concrete in your city.
Hmmm...it's actually tougher terrain here in Northern MN than most places in the UK...where we get WAY more snow (4-5 ft) and MUCH colder than you too (-25 C). And yes, I venture up there quite a bit (as I have a cabin in Northern MN).

My old Jeep Grand Cherokee is often the only way I could get through a few feet of snow, and even that thing has trouble navigating some of the dense woods.

But thanks for making a judgment call on my driving habits and what I will use my Range Rover for based on one picture of it sitting in my garage.

Gives your a big hug!
 
picture was taken a while back...need to update it with the big dent that I got at the University parking garage:rolleyes: (my car was parked and when I came back it there was a huge dent. I had actually hit someone else earlier that month in a parking lot but left a note with my information. Whoever did this didn't leave a note though...I guess karma will screw him over in some other way.)

How do you like the new TL? I've quickly warmed up to the styling.

I'm probably a little biased as this is my 5th Acura. :D

I had an 2005 TL (last time they changed styling) and I absolutely loved it. As my lease was expiring, I thought it was time for a change after 4 Acuras. Looked at Infinitis, Lexus' and BMW. Went to see the new '09 just for shites and giggles. Drove it and fell in love. I really like the new styling. I got the tech package and am paying $40 less a month than my 05 (no nav) lease. They're practically giving them away.
 
This new Asian trend of putting the gearstick half way up the dashboard makes the cars look ridiculous and I bet it is pretty awkward to drive. That thing belongs on the floor!

In an automatic, it's probably not so bad since you're not constantly shifting, but that would probably be very awkward in a manual

My friend has a Honda Civic like this one:

And yeah, it has the stick in a similar position but it's a manual gearbox.
