Just spotted this on twitter

I love it.
I didnt like it, but now I do!! 91 BMW 850CSI

Some of that video was in the launch

The only problem with most of that, is a significant amount of that kit shown, is not anywhere near the standard High Specification Edition model and the significant cost increase of core items to take it back, just takes me straight away from the sales blurb and focused on what it really is.

Its a real shame...plus its still a jumped up evoque which i struggle to get my head past. Mike

2014 Facelift Discovery

Yeah. the Evoqish look is a very bad thing.
What I like about it is the performance aspect.
To bad they did not do this to the facelift ones. 91 BMW 850CSI

2013 goes fast enough and handles well, mpg good ok emmissions could be down but all in its a good packagw in my opinion Mike

2014 Facelift Discovery

To me this vehicle lacks presence, counter to the commentary in the video. It looks small, plastic, evokish and is far less ‘Range Rover’ than the previous sports.

I’m not sure what the overall size is but to me it looks really small, from the outside and also on the inside when you see the driver changing gears etc.

RRS’s of the past have a really aggressive and robust look to them, this one just does not!

I’ve no doubt it will sell, their marketing machine is effective enough, but I always viewed the sport as a slightly different take on the Full-Fat whereas now, I think the sport is a slightly different take on the evoke / Freelander, which is a rather different proposition altogether. --------------------------------------------------------

Those who like the old Sport will probably go with the FF next  91 BMW 850CSI

I think that's a very fair point FA  --------------------------------------------------------

It has been discussed on here that its bigger...personally another stupid move, its not like the car parks, roads etc are bigger here...thats more tighter spots etc Mike
