Coming to a dealer near you soon for a warranty claim.
Horrendous.
Is it horrendous because you think it will be in for a warranty claim, or do you just think it's horrendous? If so, why? I don't like the exhausts, but the rest of it is seemingly OK. What's not to like about it? It seems to fit the bill for a fast SUV quite well and if I were in the market I'd give it a look. I probably prefer estate cars but nothing wrong with SUVs which can be even more practical.Horrendous.
as it stands.

On the right wheels (sadly it needs the big ones) and in the right colour (Byron Blue - satin if you're feeling flush) these things just look magnificent. An SUV I'd be delighted to own and drive. The SVR bits look nice (embarrassing exhausts aside) but they're not really necessary. Which leaves the engine. I'm sure it goes like stink and makes a wonderful noise and I'm glad it exists. But however minted I became I'd struggle to justify this over a V6 D300.
I get the feeling with JLR that the left hand isn't talking to the right hand. Where's the Velar with iPace running gear? 0-60 4.5 seconds, 200+ mile real world range. 0g/km C02. There's a Velar that would sell like hot cakes.
21’s are the ones to have. NOT the 22’s. I get the feeling with JLR that the left hand isn't talking to the right hand. Where's the Velar with iPace running gear? 0-60 4.5 seconds, 200+ mile real world range. 0g/km C02. There's a Velar that would sell like hot cakes.
Trust me I have tried both.
Everything about the ‘V’ is exceptional.
Ask the RR off~road demo chaps which car they’d take.
I’ve tested them all.
They all agree the ‘V’ delivers more than any other RR.
It has 99.9% of the off~road capabilities of the Sport but is so much better everywhere else. You’re able to have a LOT more fun and ‘exploit the back~end’ which you can’t do in the Sport.
The ‘tech’ is ...simply way better.
The pace is ‘rapid’. Seriously !!!
SVA... YES please..
As ever (and indeed, as we have come to expect), the writing style - as with every other article now (on Pistonheads I mean) - makes this piece borderline incomprehensible at first blush; there are so many sub, sub sub and sub sub sub clauses (as well as parentheses) that trying to understand what the 'writer' is saying is unnecessarily difficult - and it doesn't seem that I am alone in thinking that (again) - or am I?

Range Rovers seem to have become so chav in recent years. Need an image shake up.
The entire Western Hemisphere has hurled itself into a hell hole of debt riddled lifestyle consumers of no class, style or substance. Chav is no longer an economic subset but a lifestyle choice that spans all traditional classes and cultures. Gopping waddlers stuffing fast food into their Pete Burns manaquin faces while staggering from one emporium of tat to the next before rewarding all their hard work with a litre of carbonated horse p1ss while their partners stand in the mirror looking at themselves all day and using the latest must have, on trend device to access the internet and buy the latest must have, on trend devices. Buying vast amounts of plastic cr4p that they don’t need from third world sweatshops while posting on social media about how other people are destroying the planet and how horrible third world slave labour is. And brand vendors rush to fluff the neurotic vanities of these professional consumers and shallow, damaged, revolting emotional need to display a non existent wealth. And as the army of the dead rise in number but fall in wealth as their debt consumption strips all life and reason from their already pointless existence the product vendors steadily strip all the quality from their products to compete against each other in their own debt fuelled race to the bottom and end up selling hollow, plastic facsimiles of once high quality, valuable products to hollow, plastic facsimiles of what were once human beings.
JLR is not alone. The nose picking, fast food guzzling in public, debt riddled great unwashed mirror addicts are legion and infect every high end product that is or becomes aspirational. Chav is the public norm of modern society, not the hidden, ignored. An unstoppable zombie army of f
knuggets that is our modern society. An ill-mannered, self-centred idiocracy. But you can buy a JLR product without all the bling bits. You don’t have to sit in it sporting a gaudy man bangle, you don’t have to drive it to infested chav hubs of fizzy p1ss consumption or tat purchasing or behave like an oik. You can buy the chavviest of products but it can’t make you a chav unless you are a chav.

I have a few things on finance, the only things that don't include my mortgage are all 0% - done purely because, being 0%, my money is better put elsewhere. Yes, I'm in debt, but does that make me a f

Jeez, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. What a miserable person you are. I think many cars are PCP, is that technically debt?

Well, I've got the runway and the "rival" - just need to get hold of a Velar SVA for the day to really see whether I made the right purchase choice!
That’s absolutely bloody lovely, and I’d have it in a heartbeat over the Velar (which I still really like)Really good choice, I’m quite jealous👍🏻
