    Hi,

    nice to see an other RR enthusiast around here.

    I've had 4 RR Mark III (last was a Supercharged Autobiography in nara bronze) before I decided to change my daily driver.

    As you can see on the pictures the RR will get a very aerodynamic front and a sloping rear. It's also going to be more flat than the Mark III. For me it seems like a pumped up Evoque, which
    made me decide to leave Land Rover as an owner. They are going to be a lifestyle brand and I don't like there new way of design.

    We'll see if I am wrong soon, I think.


    cheers

    I looked at getting an 08, but at 110 inch wheelbase, it just seemed to small for a family.

    the front does look like the expedition...maybe Tata forgot to change the design when they bought it.

    i think RR problem is they cant do anything too aggressive for fear it will kill their sales. i have a RR sport and love the design, even though its pretty simple in form.

    I think there is no need for LR to make major changes to the RR. It sells better than ever before and NO, usually RR owners don't want a mass produced car in their garage.

    Since the Evoque has been launched, Land Rover thinks they are a "hip" and stylish lifestyle brand. What they are NOT!
    Today you can order the RR with many stupid "packages" which make it look like a handbag on wheels.
    It would a big mistake - IMHO - if LR launches a pumped up Evoque. I don't like the Evoque, because - IMHO - it's totally unnecessary and nothing more than an overpriced Freelander with vintage Ford engines. Plus, they gave it the RR brand, which is a stupid fault. This car is and will never be a RR.

    About the reliabity - I started with a RR sc in 2007, also had two Diesel RR (3.6 and 4.4) and my last RR was a 2011 supercharged. There never were any problems, i never had a perfectly built car like my RRs (and I had F-cars, too :D ).

    People often have a bad opinion about the Range - i can't share it.

    I am kind of excited about what the next RR will look like, but, tbh, i don't expect much.

    Lookks basically the same. But I like their simple style.
    I agree the Evoque is kind of out there for LR, but the technology in all of these cars is amazing and way ahead of any of its competitors.
    I've had a RR HSE and now we have an LR4.... They are awesome cars.
