Please no more black/grey Range Rovers there's so many out there now. I imagine they'll only be purchased in supermarket white anyway.

I’d quite happily buy a standard RRS and keep the difference for something else , but I’m a bit of a tight a rse and definitely to part of their target market.

Yeah, I take Classless to mean something that doesnt fit into a near pigeonhole, like the original Mini was "Classless", driven by the working man, Rock Stars and the landed gentry on occasion.

Where I think Audemars is saying it is devoid of class, no gravitas, too gaudy, aggressive and overblown ?

Indeed

Sadly he is not quite as erudite as one would expect a man of his many millions and great success to be smile

Ok here goes. I know someone who had one. Sent it back countless times for cosmetic repairs all down to poor finishing. Sorry, but when you're spending an obscene amount of money on a brand like this there is no room for error.

Range Rover have a beautiful and superb range of models in their collection. Why on earth would anyone want to re badge it with Overfinch is beyond me.

There is a saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it"

Hate it.

Too big, looks like st, and goes like st.

I do wonder who buys these and why, but then I realise, I don't care. I hope the buyers all become syphilitic crack wes.

I don't think the front of Katie's pink RR looks quite like that ^ anymore, she put it in a hedge last night when she was pissed. Allegedly.

Thats not really a saying that owners will use though.

Its broken again, please fix it, would be far more likely for a Range Rover owner.

Probably not far from the truth. My wife was looking for something on eBay a few months ago and came across a few things that Jordan was selling off, clothes, trainers and boots etc. which later transpired in the tabloids to be because she had a tax bill to pay.

I've seen / heard not-so-great things about both brands quality, or lack thereof.

Overfinch at least seem to still be near the top of the 'bodykit a Range Rover' pile, but as others have said they're not really what they used to be - seems like they used re-engineer the cars, now it's more like accessorising.

I'm a big fan of Range Rovers, when they still look factory and understated. I think it's very easy to make them look trashy and footballer-y.

But there's clearly a market for it, so if people what to spend money that way then that's their call.
Considering the cost of them I’d want ‘Bentleyesque’ levels of quality, fit and finish. That being said based on previous experience, albeit with a lesser model from the stable (LR DS), the base package is not the most reliable or well built product to start with.

A recent What Car survey for reliability resulted in most of the LR / RR range being firmly in the ‘not very reliable’ category. I’d be less than happy after spending 60-70k let alone 140k+

Not disputing what you’re saying , but how would she know who was selling them ?

Pardon my ignorance.

This thread is peak PH. Just need someone to mention how an MX5 is better and something about snowflakes and we're done. Great work.
Nah. If you want peak PH it has to be a story about Kahn. All the judgmentalism and pretend wealth demonstrated by some, not all, in this thread but with an added scoop of barely concealed racism.

That said this thread did manage to shoehorn in Jeremy Corbyn so bonus points for that.
