2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Just think there are still 1000's of those around on the roads in Europe and the USA....................... because it used to be made in this country as the Vauxhall Frontera and elsewhere as an Izuzu or GMC 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

that is why the landwind is not sold in a few countries, as it couldn't withstand the eurocap crashtest

Was the original Frontera ever put through the EuroNcap test?
Could it be the ultimate counterfeit / fake - http://www.channel4.com/4car/news/news-sto...ve#article 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

From what I have seen Tata's aren't much better! The rebadged Tata Indicar that became the Rover City Car only had airbags on the options list.......................... at least the Landwind has airbags as standard even if it has no strength

I found this one of the "genuine" Isuzu Rodeo that was badged as the Frontera in Europe...............

It's front offset crash performance doesn't look any better than the Landwind's nil pointes 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
