I also remember from the NEC, that the forward travel is restricted to how far forward it will go, so for certain larger size people it's still a struggle with the back of the seat hinged forward to gain entrance (i'm medium build and height and i struggled in and out) I really wanted a coupe, but because of this design choose the 5 door instead.

Top gear have pointed this out as well tonight, and i'm so glad now i made the right decision to go with the 5 door, and James May was very fair with his comments.

Main points:-

The car was much more capable than it needed to be (off road). Drove at 70 mph along a river bed - adaptive dynamics seemed to be doing a very good job. The ride was very smooth.
He thought the HiFi was good (not sure if it was the standard one or not).
They showed the surround cameras and the suspension monitoring software – he liked those.
He said the car felt like a real Range Rover because it felt special.
They showed the car "handshake" on start up – gear lever / dials etc..
It showed the ambient lighting - nicely. I think it shows that the edges of speakers light up at night as well - it may have been reflections – but looked cool.

Re the £43K comment I think he meant a Prestige like this - ie with AD, Pano roof, surround cameras etc. comes in at £43k which is about right (mine does)
All in all very positive - apart from the time it took the seat to move forward on the Coupe and the size of the door mirrors (too big... is that a problem.....) Oh and rear seat space.
