I know who won! :wink:

Jeep Commander Vs LR3. Commentary seemed a little biased toward the Jeep. I won't tell you what happened till after 10 tonight when the other showing of this is over. :lol:

Good competition and seemed fair. Sounds and looks like a bit of vehicle carnage. Watch and compare the vehicle movement, they don't point that out much. Done in Canada by Canadians.

TV for dinner

And the LR3 won 3 to the Jeeps 1. A draw on the tug of war in the mud. The Jeep sure does bounce!

I love how they say at the end both were evenly matched...

I wouldn't have wanted to be a passenger in the Jeep, either enduring the bounces, or constantly being booted out to push or bounce the truck over rough terrain.

And I wonder what the repair bills added up to... Land Rover $100 to re-polish the hood, Jeep $5000 in body and frame carnage...

I guess I'm pretty biased.

But the best part was the Hyundai SUV commercial vs. the LR3 — they should have dragged one of those Hyundais through the course and then you'd really appreciate the Land Rover's extra cup holders.
