Um, what is this golden pre-lapse pre-Rooney age people are thinking of when they make statements like this? The Classic Range Rover that we all regard as fah-di-dah and classy today, was marketed to the Sloan Ranger/Greed-works/Red braces crowd - the newly affluent middle classes as well as old-money Royal types. The Vogue spec was an attempt to crack a market not far removed from the orange yummy-mummy types of today. And the P38 of unblessed memory was being touted in rap videos within months of its launch.
I think the new models are a tad Bling-bling, but I'm not going to commit hari-kari over it, and neither should you, just because some of the clientele says "blud" instead of "old boy".
Well said that man. I mean "Vogue"! The clue was always in the fI think the new models are a tad Bling-bling, but I'm not going to commit hari-kari over it, and neither should you, just because some of the clientele says "blud" instead of "old boy".
king name!I loved my P38 and, when the new FFRR came along, allways felt it had become too big for my purposes - it is larger in every direction before anyone asks. IMHO the RRS did sort of drop into the mantle of the original RR coupe (not perhaps as well as the Stormer concept may have suggested, had it not been dlited) as a raffish, gentleman thug of a car with excellent all-round capabilities.
Seems anyone who slates othe RRS has never owned one, let alone spent appreciable time driving one. I love them and yes, they are a bit bling, but show me a car that hasn't been tarnished by association with footballers, gangsters, builders-done-good and orange people and I'll bet it's a pretty dull one.
to that!

the stigma attached to this car is a complete catch 22 situation in my opinion.
certain people wont buy the car because they are not rappers or WAGS - but plenty enjoy that stigma because it makes it 'a cool car to be seen in'. (sales still do very well)
personally i think its a shame because i love driving RRS and RR's - particularly the supercharged versions, addictive to drive.
Trust me, economy goes out the window when you realise how quick and easy overtakes are......

The RR Sport is a total cock wagon
Utterly and completely driven by chavtastic losers who bought them on finance that they can no longer afford
Especially in TDV8 spec with a spare set of alloys on winters
And a tow bar
Especially a tow bar with 3 tonnes being towed by it
And especially driven by people who use them to get to work in 2ft of snow and save your life
Probably
Or something

Brilliant car IMHO.
Have to agree with Dave Hedgehog about the Evoque too. It really looks good in the metal and is, in most respects, more practical in towns and cities. As I;ve said before, I think it's a winner.

That new front end looks really naff and I far prefer the last one.
Apart from the mesh in the grille, I think it's the only successful facelift Land Rover have done in the last few years. The original with the perforated grille bars looked more like a council estate P38 than a council estate P38 does.

I agree with others here what a complete cock noobs car driven by Chavs or overpaid wendy ball players. IMO what a complete waste of a supercharger on a 2.5ton breeze block, says it all about the prospectus buyers all the gear but no idea!
What sort of prospectus are they buying?Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
