2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

That looks awfull!!!!!
One of the best features of the sport is the front, it would be a big mistake to change that. Looks like a RRS/freelander cross.

2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

2008 Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE Java Black

it looks unproportional, i bet there is more to these picture than we know. usually the vehicle would have bra or cover over the front and other sections.

I do not see LR doing this to the Sport.

I cant believe you all think thats a finished look

Just ask yourselves, is LR really going to send out a 'production ready' facelift RRS on winter testing before they officially launch pics?

2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

Oh my got that picture of the new front bumper and grill looks like it been slaped with the ugly stick or is it more like it's driven into the front window of halfords..... I think ive seen Corsa's with a bumper like that..

2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Rimini Red

Come on guys, stop worrying. That front bumper is grafted onto the car from a spare part lying around somewhere. No way is that even a working design option (just look how the number plate is glued on as there is no proper place for it). I figure that the newer engine needed more (or different) cooling airflow accross its front that the existing front set up of the RRS would serve, so they have bodged a temporary solution.

Or at least I hope so ...... RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

In the lower centre console is that a single heater control or a combination lock? .... Part of the "keyless entry" system perhaps? Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

It's a test special car - there are probably a host of things being tested in it that won't actually get onto production cars........................... and as mentioned somewhere above it could be a workhorse for the FFRR 5.0l rather than an RRS. Remember all those Maestro vans that were used to test preproduction Freelander running gear and bits? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Autocar are saying the interior will actually be changed altogether......to reflect the RR - i don't even think the pics in Express go far enough to show what the real changes are. But guys don't worry - yes we all like having the latest stuff.....but just sold my wifes TT, Mk 1, yest - nearly 5 years old (ok with only 10K miles on it) but still had people chasing it and it went for close on 13K - on a car costing 24K 5 years ago.......RRS will always be in ghigh demand no matter what.......

Swap yours in end of this year - drive around in a 1K banger for 9 months and then jump in the new model....

Anyone want any more advice? 10p each visit.....
