LR Lovers (that's you Ali!), get your hands on Clarkson's 'The Good, The Bd and The Ugly' - it's a comparision between autos of America and Europe, best of both. Most of it was predictable but in segment 3, an Escalade (JC pronounces it esca-laad!) and a H2 represent America. Guess which one comes out on top!

No worries, just reverse and keep going:
