They're everywhere!

Parked up yesterday in Harrogate town center, got out of the car and noticed two cars along another SVR (dark grey) parked. walked around the corner, maybe 30 yards, and there was blue one identical to mine. How many of these have they built?! I blame GC Motors for buying them up!

The L494 is turning into the first gen X5 of a few years ago when it seemed everybody had one.

Bizzare - yesterday 4 passed me one after the other and there was one behind me too! I was like WTF!

I'm actually tempted to get out of mine and get in to a F Pace! Residuals may take a hit these are becoming very common now

The way the waiting lists for F Pace are growing they are growing to be as popular as Evoques (and many Evoque owners are fed up with terrible fit and finish of their cars and are chopping them in for F Paces!) so no point in going that route if you want rarity, the new Jag XE's also seem to be incredibly popular. Maybe you should look at an AWD F Type Jag for exclusivity.............. Jaguar hardly seems to be able to shift them 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The guy that runs our village shop just got a huge discount on a new style Q7, they also seem to be slow sellers and you can get £15000 discounts on them according to him, and he traded in a Toyota van against the Q7 Rolling with laughter 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I think the OP was referring to SVRs only. Our lesser L494s are very common ... not that it bothers me. OK may be it does a little bit from residuals POV but not much. It is a mass production car that was unveiled over 3 years ago and has been on the roads for more than 2.5 years. It is by no means "exclusive" so seeing quite a few every day is only expected. Sign of a successful model perhaps?

And yes, what's the deal with the Q7? IIRC the current shape hasn't been out for too long but huge discounts are already being offered. I got an event invitation from Finchley Road Audi and the printed material was boasting a £7,000 dealer contribution on a new Q7. That's before even asking so I am sure there is plenty of room to haggle for more Shocked I only got a tiny discount on my RRS2 and it wasn't a "new shape" by any stretch when I ordered. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Our eyes are so tuned to spot RRSs, I tend to notice each one going the opposite way on motorways.

maybe its the new look of Q7 that people doesn't like, seems to have lost the SUV look and now looks more like a cross over. On the other hand I saw my first physical Bentega the other day and it looked lot better then the photos. (still nowhere closer to FFRR or RRS looks).
