That always gets me, the LR has always been marketed for the rough terrain and go anywhere image where as the Frontera was marketed at the younger driver (especially the Sport) and as a road car with off road capabilities.

And its the off road LR that melts after a few years being splashed with road side water ....... granted its salty winter water on the roads but both cars need to deal with that.

Makes you wonder, could you sue LR for false marketing :lol: :lol:
