Over on FullFatRR.com they all think it looks a lot like the RRS, I think in the normal wheelbase version Gerry MacGovern has got the car spot-on. There are way too many existing FFRR owners who like the current design for LR to upset by being too radical with the design. Next RRS is to be based on a shortened version of the same underpinnings and I'm sure also won't look too dis-similar to the current model as all those who have come to love their RRS's after BMW's and Q7's etc have been equally vocal about not changing the shape too much just for the sake of changing it to look more avantgarde and modern.

I think you are very right. Mcgoverns design philosophy in this one seems to be "evolution not revolution". Which I think is the right decision for that product. Especially since they have the evoque to cover off the more daring design elements

Another smiler SUV - "Explorer" has already been in Can-Am market for the last few years and its been one of the hot seller... Looks like Ford USA and LR share the same genes...

I don't mind having an extra car like Flex for touring. My evoque is certainly not great on long trips - very tiring.

The new RR above is sleek - but doubt it will stand out here in NA. Old shape is more impressive tho.

RE: New Range Rover

Today, 6th September 2012 is the official launch day of the L405 2012 Range Rover........ Just some useless info for you all
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
