Don't know how you think that , where i stay there are more Coffin Dodgers and Bed-Wetters along with Split-Arses driving Sports than FF's …. Yet to see any "young uns" driving them .

Tboner ....this subject is now very

have to agree with the later sentiments, who gives a flying fig about whether its a Sport or a FFR, or a D3/4 for that matter, they are all from the same stable, save the vitriol for the Toyo and Nissan brigades

SRE,

I wasn't on the design team for the FFRR nor the X5, and as BMW owned LR at the time I guess its highly feasible it was designed to have as much component commonality as possible to reduce production costs. It's not a new concept and continues to this day.

HOWEVER, just because the wires and software etc are the same doesn't make them the same car or 'related', just as much as the Discovery 1 wasn't related to the Austin Maestro Van, even though it had the lights and door handles from it. (The RR Classic had the same door handles!). Do you see the same drivetrain components on them both? No.

There is MUCH more componentry within a RRS that you will also find in a D3, and the same is true with the RRS 2010MY and the D4.

It's not a bad thing, it's just business common sense.

Even if 80% of the FFRR was indeed found in the X5 matters not a jot, because the X5 (and X3 & X6) are complete and utter S**T, with no on-road presence, no class, no offroad ability, no pedigree and no reputation. (IMHO)

I'd rather have any LR product than a BMW/Audi/Porsche/VW wannabee.

Let's stop arguing, it's what the X5 owners want!

Hey, don’t take it so personal, I was only dangling a carrot.
I like the FF

Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

maybe its a southern thing Sport = Young , but its the old smellies round us who are driving Sportys in an effort to look young

What's the age limit on here then.

Thought I better ask in case I need to modify my profile / lie about my DOB.
