That's literally what a Range Rover is. It was /the/ luxury SUV before every other luxury car maker tried to step in. Plus it's pretty much the only truly capable one too.

I can't help but wonder why they go Land Rover instead of saving money with a Toyota FJ Cruiser, or a pickup. I rented a U-Haul, and it was snappy inside! Only complaint is the lack of tape deck, or CD reader.

Are Land Rovers, and Range Rover considered exotic? I have seen about 12 since yesterday, and they annoy me. Can I post pictures?
No. But why bother posting them if they annoy you lol
Thank you for clarifying. They are expensive, and people seem to be of the opinion that they are driving an upper class SUV.
That is known as a status symbol. Whatever off-road features Land Rovers have will never be used by any Land Rover owner, ever.

Went to the mall, saw a dirty F-Type Coupe V6 (plain) and then an early model Vantage Roadster with the top down. I considered getting pictures but was kind of lazy. Saw nothing for a while, kind of regretted not getting it. Sat by the entrance to Neiman Marcus just browsing IG and reading and stuff. I heard a nice engine, look up and see a grey California T driving to the valets. Having missing two Californias in the past week when I could've gotten them but was just too late, I was pretty excited. :D
After getting pictures and thanking the nice valet I was about to leave. Decided to check one part of the mall before I left again and saw, for the first time, a new Jaguar XJLR in black. Got some pics. Then I was about to go on my way. To leave you have to pass Neiman Marcus again. So I pass and I see a black i8 has parked in front of the Cali T. Well, more shots then. :) Overall a nice turnout. I needed some legit spots to work with for the first time in Lightroom.

Jag Xk. I think it was an XkS, I can't remember, but it was an Xk. Also, I saw a Porsche 911, and an old 911 Turbo

Red mid-2000s Viper convertible
Silver Ghibli
ORANGE MCLAREN MP4-12C HS!!!
Oh do I hope that it wasn't a replica, but everything looked just right.
EDIT: this is the one I must have spotted: McLaren Orange one spotted in Miami. Too close in distance to be a different one. Scroll down a bit to see the pictures.

New Blue Raptor
Grey M4
Black Viper
Blue Giulia (probably the highlight) it wasn't the high trim M3 competitor one but they all look relatively the same and this one just looked so damn sharp. Best looking four door on the market. It stands out as much as a Ferrari imo.

Today may have been the most insane car show I've ever been to. We started off by getting there at 7:05, nestled between an i3, M4, and Porsche 911 GT3-RS at the light. What proceeded was some of the best cars I've ever seen: Noble M400, Mercedes AMG GT, brand new Acura NSX (parked between 2 old NSXs), and a Porsche 550 Spyder! Soon after we arrived, I got to see my first ever Liberty Walk car, a LB GT-R that couldnt find a spot, and parked in a fire lane up front.
Then, in came the Corsa America Rally, which I didn't even know was going on, led by a RADICAL RXC! Following it, in order, were a Maserati Granturismo, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Martini Porsche, Mclaren 650S sponsored by Mynt, another Granturismo, Mclaren 570S, Ferrari 458 Speciale, another Porsche, Dodge Viper, and an Audi R8 Competition (1 of 60!).
Several minutes later, while taking pictures of an M4 GTS, a Ferrari California arrived. The driver pointed at me and asked if he could get the spot I was standing in, which I didn't know was empty. He parked the car got out, pointed at me again, and said, "Give me the camera, and get in the car! I'll get a picture for you!" And that's how I got to sit in my first exotic!
Unfortunately, this is where it went downhill. And I mean of a cliff downhill. While filming the cars leaving, I got ready to film the Radical RXC.... which BOTTOMED OUT and scraped an at-least 12 inch line on the pavement! Sadly, I ran out of footage room after this, but kept trying to film as the RXC drove to the median. It seemed as if he would stop, but the Speciale let him go first, and to my surprise and shock, he gunned it... and SPUN OUT INTO THE CURB! The convoy stopped at the next red light, where the driver, who as it turns out had a child in the car, checked for damage, talked with the driver of the Superleggera, then got back in, and drove off with the convoy.
