The Landy's due to be released later this year, but looks cool. She's not in any hurry though, so will be taking her time to consider all suitable options, but she wants some type of 'Jeep', which looks cute, but also has some 'attitude', lol..
Maybe Adam could rate the Landy or otherwise?

Yes mate Lexus. She needs something big enough for three kids, four dogs and can tow a caravan and a horse box. This ticks all the boxes and she loves how it drives. 3 litre V6 so has plenty poke for towing. Plus bombproof Lexus build quality, and it's the top of the range SE-L. Very quiet in the cabin, but it has a nice growl when it's booted.
The Jeep is nice, my ex had one, though bear in mind they are not Jeeps TBH, the Renegade has the same running gear as the Fiat 500X- Fiat now own Jeep Chrysler. Needs a good test drive to see if she likes it- I found it poor for long journeys as the suspension is very bouncy, it was constantly jiggling at speed on the motorway, which got very wearing after a while. Other than that I liked it though, decent equipment as standard.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
