I say what I like, and I like what I say ?
I post my thoughts on a topic. Same as anyone else. I'm not the first by an order of magnitude to say I don't like a car. Or its wheels. Or its colour. Or its interior. If people are offended by this (which the OP wasn't) on an open forum then they need to get out more.RSK21 said:
I'm really hopeful LR do bring an updated Defender and inject a bit more of a utilitarian approach into the Range.
With you on that.RSK21 said:
I am perfectly comfortable that such a vehicle can co-exist with current and proposed new models which are moving into new and profitable niches.
I'm comfortable enough, just don't like the car!405dogvan said:

Shame they are using the Velar name, most people will never know(or care) why its called that, and thats a bit of a shame.
this is a Velar.
What is the history behind it?this is a Velar.
Normally, prototype cars are crashed/scrapped but in this case some of the Velar badged cars were sold to dealers/engineers kept them and they ended-up being resold - most of those cars still exist (and have notable differences to production cars - in some cases they're basically hand-made cars!!)

p.s. 7 prototypes and 28 pre-production line-built cars according to various sources - most of which still exist.

I love the fact that they tried to disguise it but changing the name badge, no matter what badge is on it, that is most definitely a Range Rover!!!
It is to our Range Rover savvy eyes, but at the time the most luxurious vehicle Land Rover made looked a bit like this, so the prototype Range Rovers were largely ignored as being some foreign imported novelty thing.
Nice to know that Land Rover and their products can still promote such interest.You don't tend to see so much chatter when a rival marque announces a new 4x4/SUV.

The RRS is a fantastic vehicle
It's a brick that handles like a Golf GTI, has awful suspension and uses twice as much fuel. The interior is easily worse than the Disco 3, but it's vast enough to bully its way along a narrow country lane or make an insecure wife feel safe when hitting other cars in Sainsbury's. With standard alloys it's not even very good off-road, which is kind of the point of it. Not even trendy enough to be bourgeois - I haven't an honest clue why anyone would buy one, unless they shave their head and are involved in the building trade.
Personally think it's great to see them doing so well and having the money to produce so many models of car.
Every manufacture is in the game of making models slightly bigger or slightly smaller than the other...as soon as Land Rover start, they just get a big bashing from the majority of people on here.
Whatever way you look at it, there is a truck sized gap between the list of an Evoque and a Range Rover and this fits the gap perfectly.
