There are some automotive silhouettes that people respond to and instinctively know.



For example, I have yet to meet the person who doesn't instantly recognize a Jeep or a Hummer.



Land Rover is another one that falls into that category. Their tall boxy shapes instantly conjure up images of African landscapes and jungle excursions, and even though most people's ideas of off-roading constitute a drive down Earhart Boulevard, buyers still love Land Rovers for their promise of adventure and air of glamour.



The good news for them is that the 2008 Land Rover LR2, with its starting price of $34,700, is low enough to let even newcomers wander into uncharted territory. The entry-level LR2, which replaces the Freelander, offers much of the off-road prowess that its bigger, more expensive siblings do, while ensuring smooth sailing on the pavement.
