What next a Range Rover Harley

Yet more dumbing down of the brand IMO.
And more money for Jag-LR, which is why they do it.

they shouldn't call it a range rover, and at the same time a 'sport' shouldn't be called a RR..a range rover is a FFRR not a sport or evocock or whatever its called.... ... - .- -.

I guess the times have changed... I bet that in the near future the FFRR will have an official name extension too, like Range Rover (insert something here ) 2000 BMW M5, Avus Blue/LeMans Leather Interior
2006 Range Rover Westminster Java Black

how low can LR go? not far enough it seems,

press release today re a new Freelander / Gaylander / Toylander - ITS 2 wheel drive

wot and its still a LR

Interesting times.

New Freelander varient is (other than some specials yonks ago) the first mass produced LR with only 2wd.
New Evoke will be first Range Rover not to carry the LR badge alledgedly.

One has to wonder what next...

The demise of Land Rover as a brand

Not everyone has 20k all the way up to 80k to spend on a car. Some people need to take their heads out of their arses.

Not really.
It'll just supposedly be the more practical cars under the LR brand, while the Range Rover brand is for posh snobs.

evocock, made me laugh scarey...

I guess it makes me frustrated because its been turned in to a brand as opposed to the modle. I bought "the car" because of its pedigree, its something to cherrish and will easily tow my caravan. I've had classic Range Rovers... they technically they weren't "Classics" as that was a modle in its self... but you know what I mean.. pre P38 Rangies.

Am I saddened that all the above has been diluted by using it as a brand ... yes. Next it'll be Range rover pants FFS! (Thats for sake not full fat ) 2010 Disco XS TDV6, 2009 Freelander 2 GS
