    What are your thoughts on it? Does it make you want to trade up?

    Old one was a decent performer as daily driver,imagine what 700lbs less weight does for it.

    Yeah I agree, it looks like a bigger Evoque. Not that excited about it but ill have to see one up close before I make up my mind.

    I'm getting one, just put my name on the list and soon to be submitting its specs for order. Supposidly they according to my dealer, they should be available around aug.

    Currently have a 2013 sport and love it but certainly find the new features of the 14 a worthy upgrade.

    Not a fan of the front, too much like Evoque not enough like the Standard Range.

    I'm on my second LR and have mixed feelings about the new design. I don't care for "gills" stamped on the door. The only color that looks good to me is black, because it somewhat hides the Ford looking lights.

    I don't see any gills on the RR sport..
    Change is a funny thing to deal with but the designs continue to become the norm.
    Ford motor Co. is a pig
    They spent years copying mercedes styling cues, now they stole aston martin front grills
    Without doubt they are angry at Tata for turning a 2 billion dollar company into 15 billion dollar company and they have spies still inside RR who leaked these styling cues back to Ford.
    It does not look like a ford..ford looks like a RR.
    Anyway the techno improvements alone are worth the price of admission..It'll be my 4th RR coming..2 Full sized SC's 1 sport AB and another coming..
    new cars have an 8 speed automatic as well.
    Imagine 800 lbs. lighter, thats 6 people out of the back seat.
    They are confidence inspiring trucks beyond that of anything else.
    Anyway you look at it, This is one sweet 500 HP Ride!
    Bravo to the Hungry people at RR

    I do feel sorry for the people who bought the 2013 full sized RR's as they will drop like hot potatoes.
    Such an archaic desin now.
    Remember the RR ultimate..200 G's new.. you could probably pick that baby up for under 80 now.

    I predict.... Jeremy Clarkson will bestow the Highest honors ever bestowed upon a vehicle on these 2 new Models..
    anyone agree ??

    It "out-techs" its big brother. I plan on picking up a 2014 full size to replace my current Rover, but I'd be pretty pissed if the new tech advancements included in the Sport aren't added to the full size.

    Although I like the new updated look and all the tech they put into it, the RR SC Sport still carries the same engine I have in my 2010 RR SC. I expected a little more change in the pwertrain dept... I love my current RR SC and with the buyback being so low, I may just buy it at the end of the lease... It will cost less in the long run... Waiting to see the new Maser Ghibli and I'll make up my mind as to whether I keep the current RR or get the new one.

    RR must leave room for HP improvement, However...Consider the weight savings to be an additional 50 to 75 HP increase..

    I have the current AB sport SC..now if for the past 2 years , I had been driving around with 6 grown people in the back seat......and I just dropped them off at the bus stop..
    I would consider the new feel to be that of a 100HP increase!!!

    YEEE HA!

    No doubt the new RR will be a performer! I guess I'll wait to test drive one this summer...

    Just saw the vid, the pics I based my opinion on were not the best, I actually quite like it. This Sport sounds like an awesome vehicle!

    a friend of mine just got his 2014 rr sport supercharged, white w/black top, what a beast, more comfy than the 2013 of which i have one,looks more lux inside also, and the engine note is crazy, sounds like a sports car, it would make a maserati blush lol i will def upgrade to one when my lease is up.(and you can get a third row seat, i mean its for two kids, but can come in handy.)

    Yeah, much better than the 2013, which I have as well. I'm getting the new sport dec, custom exactly how I wanted, including the third row seat for the kids. Much improved over the 2013.
