Full Fat Range Rover Vogue SE (2010 L322, TDV8)
Discussion
I'm not surprised tbh....
Since forever I have been looking at L322 and I love them. Bought a P38 and then a RRC to scratch that FFRR itch. New plan is to reduce the amount of cars and to get an L322. The idea was to have something that is borderline classic with modern usability, but after having driven two different ones lately (facelift 3.6 and 5.0 S/C) I think I will end up with an L405 afterall.
They simply are a much nicer everyday car and coming from a Volvo V90 T8 with all the toys, the L322 feels more agricultural than I would have thought. Also prices for the L405 have come down massively lately, while the few good L322 around have, if anything, risen (here in Switzerland).
Also the size difference and manoeuvrability (I told the wife the L322 would be a smaller and easier car to drive ) are negligible or not there at all.
I will re read your L405 readers car thread. Keep the interesting post coming!

I think you’ve summed it up very well TurboRob.
I agree, which is why I’m perfectly happy with my L494 daily driver, BUT cannot part with my 2004 L322 4.4 petrol on 211,000 miles. I can’t face parting with it so It’s in storage whilst I’m running my son and daughters cars for them, but as soon as those cars go, the L322 will be coming back.
