Odd / disappointing though that they have upgraded the output of the V6 on the sport and not the full fat. Geoff |

Hi, Agree looking a BIT less flash when compared to Sport, its growing on me in silver and other light colours. However prefer Sport as a piece of more honest modern design: there were clearly no heritage restrictions here, just a clean sheet with the brief of making the finest sports SUV on the market. L405 for me seems to be an uncomfortable mixture of past and present designs when LR really wanted to build an Evoque XXL. The fatal flaw however is that both cars are far too expensive. Evoque should start at �30k (and have more kit as standard) Sport should start at �40k (more basic model) FFRR should start at �60k (with current trim levels.) Linear pricing system: makes sense as most owners will pay more for toys anyway. �72k for a standard model of a compromised new design seems way too steep. As much as we love FFRRs, a Merc S Class or even an X5 50d for 60k are now preferable in purely rational respects. Before I would have forgiven the FFRR for high prices, as it was such an elegant design, however the L405 lost the magic for me. |

still, the FFRR was always a car to polarize opinions... |
