I vote for a diesel treg - I love my '04 v10. Fast is an understatement. Gets up and goes just like a Turbo Cayenne and does it averaging well over 20 mpg, even with a leadfoot. I can get upwards of 26-27 mpg on the highway too.

I can concur on the safety of a Land Rover. My father in law rolled his Series 1 Disco pulling a 24 ft trailer with 3 cars on it on a country road in IN, with me driving behind. Barrel rolled about 6 times after jacknifing into a ditch. Not a scratch on him. Can't say the cars on the trailer faired better tho.

Forgot to mention he did it at about 40 mph too. Lots of stored energy! Not a single piece of glass broke on the Land Rover, although the frame was pretty mangled.
