I am not an SUV person but after watching several videos I am convinced that it will be a very capable SUV. Also, LR has invested alot of time in perfecting the drivetrain (watch Richard Hammond video).
I kind of like the look of it, but I get why it isn't everyone's cup of tea. I think if you want something with actual "off road capability" then you might look at LR. There are some interesting video's comparing LR and Jeep, and the Jeep does quite well for a lot less cash. MB G Wagon is a true off roader as well but really pricy. Hey different strokes for different folk though.
