Thank you all for your thoughts. I really tried to find a good reason in my mind to buy the Range Rover (not the Sport) because I really did like the Fuji White exterior, Black Santorini Top and Ivory Seats but (being 55 and not 35) I could see no reason to spend the extra cash. The back seat did not seem much roomier, the front seat only slightly wider and they both had the same engine. The LR4 had more head room and to me felt as large. It also had much better visibility. The Range Rover was plusher for sure. Interestingly despite my attempts the dealers were willing to discount the LR4 off MSRP more than the Range Rover. They claim there is more demand (and less availability) for the Range Rover (despite its 100K price w/tax and extended warranty) than the LR4. Perhaps because the LR4 is at the end of its production cycle.
More importantly, my wife (who will be driving the car) liked this better. So we are happy with our purchase and will let you know our initial impressions in April when it is supposed to be delivered.
