2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey
2010MY TDv6 3.0HSE short test in Autocar this week

They like everything Land Rover has done EXCEPT "tasteless exterior details" I assume they mean the awful 20" wheels that the factory has decided to fit............................................. surely they don't mean the tacky side vents or the LEDs in the headlamps or the chrome effect lip spoiler in the lower intake

Verdict - "Polished update with superb driver's environment and excellent drive train" "There's a certain arrogance about a Range Rover Sport, but it has a lot to be arrogant about"

So Good - Very Punchy diesel
- Superb Driving position
- Extraordinary ability
- Chassis control when fitted with Dynanic Responce

Not So Good - Tasteless Exterior Details
- Still weighs 2.5 tonnes

I'll scan the item this evening and add it to my gallery

I also notice from the photos of their press car that the offside rear door looks like an awful lot of RRS's that I see - from certain anles the door looks as if it is mis-aligned or not closed fully, my own car look the same from the rear 3/4 view but on the white press car it is very noticable and will be picked on by detractors of Land Rover quality. 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

Interesting - the first post in the thread is from last week's Autocar website review............................. maybe I don't need to fork out £2.50 a week for the magazine if I can read it 1 week earlier online for free! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
