A smaller green house with narrow windows? WTF?

Why mess with the formula of these iconic cars?

If this change happens my Rover days may be over, the rig will be like everything else then.

If that's so I'll just save my money and reliability worries by getting a Lexus, but my day to day driving won't be filled with the charm of a Land Rover.

The Goodyear Wranglers HP are horrible tires! Look at their customer rating on TireRack.com. I got less than 20k out of mine on my 2003 Land Rover Discovery and stopping in the snow and ice is a joke even when they were new.

On my Jeep Wrangler I had Goodyear Wrangler ST's when I got it new. I changed to a Firestone MT and the vehicle drove completely different. Slick roads w/o 4WD and stopping w/o antilock brakes were never a problem.

Tires really make a difference and Goodyear puts out some pretty poor examples of a tire in my mind.

I am just happy a demo is in the store and that it's coming soon. I almost broke down and got the blackjack or 8525 last week. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will still have the treaded SMS like my Treo 650.
