Having Vogue and RRS i can compare them...
FFRR S/C has the same power and dynamics as RRS (their weight difference is only 100kg (that is one man) ) in the straight line... Yes, RRS handles better, but still - it's not even close to the handling of X5 4.8iS, RRS is fat and heavy SUV anyway And the interior.... FFRR has no doubt best interior: it's of better quality and materials (leather is better, everything is stiched leather including dash, armrests, doors etc), it has better seats (16-way regulated both front seats), it has more gadgets like several cameras, TV, mp3-song titles on the touchscreen, audio system is 200watt more powerfull.

Not sure the about the BMW 4.8is being a better handling vehicle
Those of us on here who were fortunate enough to have experienced the "full on" test drive of the supercharged at Gaydon around their proving ground and track will know just what I mean - I think the BMW would come a lowly 2nd
BTW - I agree the FFRR is beautiful place to be sitting - esp the new 07 model year versions
You'd need to get the same guy to throw the X5 around the same track and you'd be back to square one. It's the age old argument, BMW make cars that handle very well vs LR that makes that go offroad very well and never the twain shall meet. I was taken round Millbrook Alpine circuit in a Cayenne by a Porsche test driver. After I regained the power to walk I was amazed how it was possible to throw an SUV around a track like that.

Onroad handling of BMW 4.8iS is best among SUVs of our time... There is now doubt about that, it feels like a sport-sedan when you drive, not like a TRUCK. But I must admit that it lacks almost any offroad abilities.
But still RRS is a great car wich I like and love... but I'm looking forward to new BMW X5 5.0iS 2008 (up to 450bhp without any superchargers or turbocharges) which should be a good vehicle.

You've just got to look at what % residual of your original investment you get back when you sell it. RRS wins hands down!
As long as you like the connotations a RRS gives you - that slight gangster image. A 30 yr old would want a RRS, a FFRR is more of a gentlemans car.
Been round the track in many a car, including Gaydon in Jags, LR's and Aston. A decent racing driver has skills so far beyond the average road driver he can make any car seem brilliant. (had a Jaguar XJ seem like a Porsche round bruntingthorpe!) Usual training trick for car manufacturers, that they'll use on staff and lucky customers, but great fun all the same. You'd have to have the same test driver jump into the Beemer straight afterwards, and it'd probably win I'm afraid due to construction style & weight.

The TDv8 FFRR is highly addictive.................. but sooooooooooo expensive!
4X4's that big and heavy should not be able to handle so well or travel so fast!
