True, Dan, BUT, they've been selling the image of their African safari and off road credo, which goes way back.
Quick funny story (file this under smart people aren't always so smart)
My old swim coach is a local lawyer. Pretty successful, Amherst, etc. Decides to buy a Rover. The cheap $30K job, about 10 yrs ago. Now I know it's 'quality challenged', so to say, but he doesn't ask me until AFTER he buys it. (people sometimes would rather not know) Anyway, we're in the car in New Have and it's just snowed. Parking is reduced because of the piles of snow. He opines that won't matter to him...
he's driving the Rover! He spots a 'spot', which has 3 feet of snow and makes a beeline. From the back seat I scream "Noooooo". Too late, he's beached it. Won't go back or forth or anything.
He's deflated...
"But I thought a Range Rover could go ANYwhere???"
I got my loafers all messy pushing him out.
Smart people often don't think critically.
