I'd have a LWB G55 AMG over this any day of the week!

Not keen on the Sports, and I don't think the latest incarnation of the proper Range Rover looks special enough....

Each to their own I guess, but are you sponsored by Mercedes?!

You are Lewis Hamilton AICMFP.

Not without it's charms. But I get the impression it wouldn't be as competent on road as a Sport? Probably marginally better off road though. 'Image' is slightly higher I suppose too.

Say it quietly, but the RRS is possibly the most competant Land Rover product off road.

It has every electronic traction/suspension gizmo that the Disco and FFRR have, but is shorter in both wheelbase and overhangs. Okay it does not have the ruggedness of a Defender - the bush meachnics would struggle to look after one long term - but it is incerdibly sure-fotted, even on the bling alloys. Put some sensible treads on there and it'd be even better.
