This is the only luxury SUV and I don't think you would like to argue with it

Pretty evil looking, but yet another reason for not buying black, as its is better to be camouflaged as innocently as possible like in Stornoway or something similar if your gonna go van hunting  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

how they judged the test:-
Calculation of the Total Quality Index (TQI)

The Total Quality Index score is calculated using multivariate statistical techniques that measure the correlations of all aspects of the vehicle ownership experience including product, reliability and dealership (independent variables) against multiple outcome measures (dependent variables) which include the following:

* Satisfaction with the complete ownership experience
* Perception of quality
* Owner reported delight
* Future purchase intent
* Emotional attachment to vehicle

The correlations derived from this complex procedure are transformed into a 1000 point scale to facilitate comparisons. The scores typically range from 750 to 900. Generally, scores over 800 are terrific, although in some segments a score in the low 800's is not very competitive.

Typically, differences of 3-5 points in this scoring system are significant depending on the nature of the sample, i.e., variation, differences in factor scores, etc.
