In my mind, the original will never be knocked off the top step.My earliest memory of Christmas was getting a Corgi police Range Rover. Then a few years later, one of my favourite toys - another present, this time from my Nan for my birthday - was a larger Range Rover model.
The Range Rover simlpy looked like nothing else.

This is why I think RR are really missing the point of not re-introducing a 'compact' RR. It's what the RRS should have been all along.
The 3dr Evoque could come close if they gave it a bit more off-road ability and the TTd V6 engine.
Still rather have a proper 'compact' 3dr Rangie though.

Prefer the Cayenne's styling myself, looks very subtle which is a good thing with a big car. The last RR tried to smooth out its proportions, this one seems to embrace them. I'm not a fan of that. Need to see the interior in the flesh but it looks like the touch screen and rounded off edges are too try-hard and have lost a bit of the square-edged solidity that made it a Range Rover. And much though I like the Evoque for what it is I don't see LR products as sharing some kind of 'design language', which to me only serves to diminish the aesthetics/features of the flagship. Would rather have a Disco, I think.

I don't think I've seen that word associated with Cayenne styling before!
I think the old one is gaudy but the current one in a dark colour and non-stupid alloys looks pretty swish; certainly lacks the upright stance that makes an SUV seem more imposing than it actually is.LongLiveTazio said:

The new shape is much nicer And they are exceptional road cars and now with a nery nice interior but I'm not yet convinced that it looks anything like an £80k+ car though. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
