2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Santorini Black

it looks a lot smaller doesn't it, almost like a new style Sport. I wonder what their thinking is? ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable
============
2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

Thinking about the thread elsewhere asking if the RR brand is dead. Yes, is the answer - it's died and been replaced by a full bling jewellery box. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I tailed a disguised one for several miles, it looks just like a Sport in size. I don't know why people think it's big. It's a really odd decision IMO. ============

2005 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange

Not sure I like that rear end

Why are 22" so important ?

wait until you see it in the flesh to see what you think...the pictures are not the same.

Im incidentally not a fan of it worryingly...maybe it will grow on me...i thought it was the colour at first but ive seen 3 different colours and im not impressed. Mike

Ooops, looks like a pic from Gaydons inner car park, hope he doesn't get caught
Actually the shape belies its size, its enormous, about the same difference between RRS and L322 as L322 & and what you see in the pics?

The rear lights look odd more and more new ford focus looking.

It's lost some of the old wow factor the L322 had. Whilst the latest looks good it's very inflated jaguar looking. Wouldn't say no though.

Basically it allows them to drop 500kg to reduce emissions across the range, I believe there are fines/incentives from the government, but like windfarms, are pretty useless and cost the taxpayer a fortune!

They're not important, not even a little bit. In fact they're pretty pointless but lots of people consider them pretty and thus not pointless. All about form being more important than function. Which, in a functional vehicle, seems to miss the point.

In other words "it's all about the bling, innit"

Footballers, WAGs (especially the Beckham woman) and Chelsea Tractors come to mind... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Whilst that's undoubtedly true (the weight loss bit anyway), it doesn't have any impact on the styling. The styling seems to me to be aimed at the Asian market which, of course, is where the money is these days. Oh, and LR's owners are there too.

LR is no longer a western brand and so will be tailored to eastern tastes. Of course, lots of wealthy Brits and septics will buy them merely for the name, but the imperious "I'm in charge, be gone from my sight" of the Rangies of old has been lost.

The Rangie is now a full-on 4x4 limo. I doubt many will see grass beneath their wheels, even less so real mud.

If LR bring out the Defender in the form recently previewed, then we can safely say that LR no longer makes off roaders, it makes overweight cars with 4WD.

And they will all sell in their tens of thousands... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
