More like an Austin Allegro !! or the Austin A40 !!
Talking of new models ........did anyone see the
new Cayenne S ....540 BHP 170+mph $111,000. !!!!!
Bet that baby flies.............
land rover should stick to the up market products and
the Utility Defenders and stop ******* about in the
middle market...too many competitors who do it better
and cheaper...........just my 2 cents if its any sense.

Nasty typical Photoshop job, too many pinched D3 and RRS components copied and pasted for my liking Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

The original spyshot makes it look so much better than that one.

That new Cayenne is the Turbo S isn't it? Even more silly than the current Turbo, the only other Porsche that's more powerful is the Carrera GT apparently. All that in a capable offroader too... if only it wasn't so ugly. I suppose the fact it's 80k will put some people off too.

It's a little known fact that the D3 and RRS stop in less distance from 70mph than the Carrera GT Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

Is that the coup de gras for LR after having been comprehensively thrashed away from the lights?

The petrol looks like its about 250 bhp and it will weigh about 1.5 ton, I reckon it'll be showing you boys the way home

You can see where LR are coming from though.
Don't think they have had a car like the RRS before where models are flying out of showrooms worldwide, so you can't blame them for basically offering the same thing but in different sizes, isn't that what Bmw are all about, i.e. X5 - X3?

My initial reaction was 'not bad' however when you flick back and look at it.......very confused! Bits and pieces from D3 and RRS but where on earth did they get the grill from?!?! Looks like it needs a lid Currently: Carbon Black 535d

Yes but it is only a chop so of course they have used other cars bits, think it is more the impression rather than the actual look.

I'm still surprised we haven't seen any real pics. It ships during the summer, doesn't it? Surely there must be cars in the LR fleet by now...? I suppose LR are keeping a lid on it for the element of surprise. Hmm...
