hehe... MDP.. was just justifying the non purchase of the cab in my mind!
the noise in a convertible would be awesome!

the other reasons for buying the cab, would be a) so everyone can see you driving the RS4...
b) to make it easy for the car jackers to just rip you out of your seats..

2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Stornoway Grey

Much as I think the DV8 is a good idea and I would like to go for one, when we bought the Supercharged the wife and I did agree I would keep this car longer than I had been keeping cars previously (1 year).

At the time, there was no talk of the DV8. To part exchange mine in a few months time or sell it privately would mean a huge hit on depreciation less than a year after forking out for it, which I don't want to go through.

Anyway, when you're being given FREE FUEL why bother right? L319 D4 HSE

The torque should be huge and a fair bit more than the SC, so should give a completley different experience.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Fuji White

Hey Kam

Go on you know you want to put your name on the list!!

For info, you could be no 7 at Williams Manchester. They are a pretty big group and I think their allocation will be pretty good.

cheers paul.. i know williams manchester.. we bought a Bmw from their Bmw dealership in town. thats good to know.
Will find out what kind of list solihull have and either ask to have the demo as soon as its finished with, or go onto the conventional list as long as it won't take too long to get hold of one!

Will be tight squeeze between the RS4 and M3, but as there is no info about the M3 at present, i guess that can be taken as no info means no car due for a while yet.

I don't disagree, but they won't release a diesel that out performs their flagship petrol version. That would be suicide. The RR and RRS attract people who want the ultimate exclusivity and to get that you pay the most money on the higest spec, it's always been the same.

If the torque figures ARE more than the SC I still doubt it will be quicker off the mark or top end than the SC. I just can't see a good business reason why they would make it better. L319 D4 HSE

You almost sound worried there, RRUK!

I agree though, they're not going to shoot themselves in the foot are they?

My test driver at Gaydon reckoned it is 'almost' as quick as the SC and it will have more torque. 2013 RRS SDV6 Autobiography Fuji White
