    "...the tradition continues." :D

    Old joke I recently posted in another thread...

    Why don't the British make TVs?

    Because they haven't figured out how to make them leak oil.​

    You're welcome.

    It does appear to be a lovely Scion Flex. :D

    As my mechanic once told me, they're designed to leak... that's how they "self-replenish" the world's oil supply.

    :D

    There was a big discussion about this on the Rover forum. The hood has some sort of plastic protection on it that covers up the hood vents and castellations that are Rover signatures. Once the plastic is removed it should look normal.

    This photo is also deceptive because there is no scale to compare it to. My current Rover is about 6 feet tall... and this one is supposed to be taller and longer. It's going to have a massive presence on the road. It won't be confused for a Scion!

    Yes it does look like the side vents and anything on the hood has been covered.

    Also looks like the suspension is at a low setting.

    Yep. The L322 (current) Range Rover has an air suspension setting (that only the factory can access) that lowers the car to its bump stops for production and shipping. Looks like the car is at its lowest or closest to its lowest setting.

    Certainly does look more regal (and not in a Buick way :D) in these camo-clad shots: http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1074271_2013-land-rover-range-rover-spy-video

    Sample (a few more at link)...

    With Ford no longer involved, I have no idea why the front and back have to look like a Ford????

    Big mistake, IMHO.

    Is the wheelbase still 110 inches? The competition seems to be at 115 inches.
