The RR sport is in real danger of looking like a pimpmobile if too much is done. Best orange, best left alone, because the Project Kahn Sean Coombes Puff Drive-by B*tchin Dealer's special edition will just get you shot at in Manchester. Or stuck on the ramps in Tescos, which is even more embarrassing.

The RR sport is such a dissapointment after the good looker stormer. The sport's looks are that of a Max-powered Range Rover that has been chopped a bit and had some spoilers added.
Not a great fan of the these daft and pointless vehicles, surely better to spend the money on a decent saloon or estate that handles and does not weigh so much. XJ8 RS8 etc.

The sport handles beauitfully in my opinion! One of the only 4x4's i've ever driven that feels & drives like a car!

Looks like Auntie Rover is trying to copy the Jeep SRT ... with little success

I think the kit adds nothing - IMHO the Sport is a fantastic looking vehicle as it is - the bodykit just mucks up the lines. If you gonna be proper about it, make the concept - two door, weirdasallgetout bonnet, crushed ice rear lamps and smacking of presence - which you'd want if you were driving a vehicle that arguable falls into the 'most pointless' category.

I like the sport, but the base Disco has a better interior (not the V8 and its horrible plastic wood though) and hence would be my 'Rover of choice.

Agree with all of this. Kahn and Overfinch do it better.

I couldnt afford the rediculous fuel economy on the supercharged car - If I were getting one it would be the deisel.... ideal for trailering the car to the track i would think...

not a fan of 'more stick on bits but no more power' school of tuning either. Leave that to the footballers and drug dealers...
