Just saw a shiney new red MY14. First one I've seen in the flesh... very evokish... think I need a closer look but doesn't scream Range Rover to me

test drove one last weekend in Sydney.. a few Evoque drivers looked a few times to work out what it was  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

MY10 3.0 RRS TDv6 Fuji/Ebony/Anigre

How did it drive... I must admit I thought it was an evoke from the front, it was only as it went past that I saw it was a RRS

beano, drove very well, it is a whole lot lighter than my current variant, it also felt less bargy in the corners
when you put your foot down.. The V6SC seemed a very nice package.. i just think the price is a bit of a
take to be honest

Thanks

From the front I look at the DRLs now to tell them apart from the evoque but still getting confused between new ffrr and RRS

IMHO the models are looking too similar from a distance (like Audi) and joe public can't tell them apart  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

spot on, it was actually Evoque drivers having to have a very long hard look and then mouth thats the Sport,its only been out here about a month.. not seen one outside dealership demo's on the road yet to be honest

Hi all.... I'm new to this forum, from Perth AUS and first time buying a SUV.

Test drove the new RRS on Monday and bought it on Tuesday morning. Love it. Cant wait to get it in. Have to wait till Feb 2014 till it gets made and delivered. Managed to secure "RRS" Premium Euro plates today as well

Welcome WRRS.

Jealous... What colour was the one you test drove? Wondering if the one I saw was a Barbagello one?

Where in Perth are you?

Cheers

The one I drove was a fuji white HSE.

Im from Stirling

Saw a shiny red one today on the Stirling Highway bridge turning right towards Freo.. The rego was DKD. Looked OK, maybe its growing on me. Sure does make the first series looks very dated. I might take a closer look. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Think that red one might be the Barbagello demo?

Beemer dealer offering me a big big big discount on brand new X6 40d with some very nice toys. I might do it, I have always liked the X6. I shouldn't have gone in to look but I did. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

well i saw my first Fuji MY14 today and to be honest it makes the whole vehicle look understated,
i would suggest and accepting i may annoy a few MY14 in white owners , the old model like mine
certainly has more road presence in that colour.. I think Chilli, Corris or Santorini is the way to go

i will get my coat  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Hi Zilch,
Sorry but I really like the Fuji White!!
The local dealership gave me one to drive home in the other day and all it needs I reckon is dark tint and that's it??
