RE: Range Rover Sport leaked undisguised
Discussion
I just now mourn the loss of the last proper 'bloke's 4x4'.
First they namby-pamby the Defender's drivetrain with a blu-tak-based Ford Puma engine and gearbox - and now this.
I thought the RR sport and RR full stop were proper bloke's cars - as certainly were the older Discoverys - you know, the sort of thing you have as the owner of a paintballing operation.
But the whole Evoque and X6 design phenomenon is a bit like with modern Black & Decker drills - as though designed by 6-year olds.
The magic of the Defender was precisely that it wasn't 'trying' at all.
I understand - they will as you say sell like anything - but I mourn the end of a motoring era. Landrover were the last holders of that bloke's car torch.

I really can't decide if I like that or not ?? Yes looks more modern but not sure that's a good thing !!
It will sell like hot cakes no matter what I think !!
Can't help feeling looks wise one of the last 3.0 sports may be better, I do suspect however that as this is all ally I believe and on the new rr platform it will drive superbly
Can see the current sports pricing takinga. Complete bath very quickly !!
