My wife wants to get get a new car. She loves her current Toyota Landcruiser V8 and would have another in a heartbeat - except they have stopped making them.

Given those criteria, beginning to look like a bit like a LWB Shogun or another Land Cruiser. Whilst the the Q7 and XC90 are great vehicles, they are much more car-like and really don't have the presence on the road. None the worse for that in my view, but don't really meet the criteria.

There is no budget. New or ex-demo.

That would cost more than a new car... |

UK doesn't get the chintzy Lexus LX570 , Shogun is ancient and cheap feeling and the new Patrol although every bit as good as a Land Cruiser is not available so if it can't be a Green Oval product it really does come down to the GL . If it has to be properly big there is not that much choice in the space critical UK .

That is what she'd choose, I'm sure.
She'd want that! Is a 50cal Machine gun standard? |

After 2 colleagues at work have had the new XC90 T6 I have to say with a LC V8 budget I'd consider it. It's a big lump of a car, with 7 VERY good seats, excellent build and spec and it has a good turn of pace. I was very impressed. Interior and exterior seem to be very good.

A few extra seats but otherwise fits the request perfectly
