So today i finally had a close look at the new RRS. Have to say was not very impressed , ok they where only the tdv6s hse but what bland cars. Much prefer my Autobiography. Along the road i also looked at the cayenne ,a well specced car admittedly but far more impressive am sorry to say. So unless the new autobiography looks miles better when time comes to change it will be Vogue or Porsche! SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

I thought the same, but it turned out to be very heavily influenced by the choice of interior colours and specification. Went to the launch at the Hurlingham Club and really did not like the cars they had on display.

Then went to the test day at Gaydon where they had ones with the long sun roof and different interiors and was bowled over.

Then I heard the V8 and took it to 155mph, now I know what I want!!!! 2016 RRS 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography Dynamic in Montalcino Red and Stealth Kit

Without sounding too like, I thought the same when I saw an HSE (in black) parked up, I assume at the owners premises. Black seats, white dash . It was the wheels I think, along with nothing on the body to break up the blandness. Maybe a different colour and different spec wheels (assuming you can choose the wheels on the HSE) might make a difference.

I saw another Black HSE on Sunday parked and sadly that looked the same, for £60+k I would not expect bland.

I have seen in two dealers an Autobiography - a totally different kettle of fish but that was £80+K. Was not Black either but had stunning looking wheels - the full package. SDV6 HSE, Indus Silver/Ebony
