"  If Lexus and Mercedes-Benz can build SUVs, well, why can&amp;#039;t Land Rover build a vehicle that&amp;#039;s carlike? That must be one of the thoughts behind the LRX Cross-Coupe, a design study that&amp;#039;s only the second concept vehicle that Land Rover has ever produced. More important, it shows that Land Rover is seriously considering just such a vehicle.   The 4-seat LRX is based on a shortened LR2 chassis, and wearing bodywork that&amp;#039;s distinctively Land Rover, but with some bold modernity thrown in for good measure. We like the strong grille and fender flares, and how the roof slopes downward as it travels rearward. And inside, the seats\u2014upholstered in a tough leather not unlike that of a high-quality baseball glove\u2014appear to &amp;quot;hang&amp;quot; in the cabin because they&amp;#039;re attached only to an exposed (and structural) central spine.   With the rear split-hatch open and the uniquely articulated seats folded flat, the LRX can carry a couple of mountain bikes. Interior mood lighting is blue in everyday driving, green in off-roading and red when the suspension is in sport mode.   Land Rover hopes the LRX will strike an emotional chord with the general public, much like the Mini and original Audi TT have done. Has Land Rover succeeded?
