Bottomline The 2008 Land Rover LR3 is hard to justify for fashion alone, but if you're living an off-road lifestyle, it's one of the best. A cramped rear seat and sluggish performance tarnish the otherwise rugged-lux credentials of the 2009 Lexus GX 470. The 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is a superior sport-ute with lots of room and power.
