Hi, Mith,
If I were you, I would seriously consider the LR4. I have both, and the LR4 is superior on numerous levels. (Disclaimer: you may not get unanimous agreement on this forum!!) Just my twopence...

@djatkinson maybe on a different thread so as not to jack Mith's, you can break down the likes/dislikes of each model. I think the LR4 is cool...interior is nice and more refined. I like the LR3's exterior a lot better though, and the 4.4L is anecdotally more robust than the 5.0. I don't own both though, so hearing your opinion would be interesting.

@Mith_21 I see you are in Oman. Would you be looking for the diesel or petrol? Did they make both in 2008? What will you be using the Rover for? Off-roading, overlanding? Just driving around town?

Not sure about the Japan Spec; unfamiliar. Does it have the same 4.4L V8 that is sold in North America?

I gotcha....not a huge fan of the V6, but if it suits your needs, there is no real reason not to get it.

This is a big point of contention among enthusiasts. Personally, I prefer the EAS and would not want a coil-converted vehicle; however, I do understand and appreciate the rationale for doing that conversion and in some cases it could make sense. It really just depends on what is important to you.
