How someone can order a car without knowing how it will look or how good or bad it will be escapes me!
I will wait to see what they come up with and if it looks like the Evoque but just larger, I think I will rush out, finances permitting, to buy one of the last L322!
Reading the Top Gear review of the 4.4 TDV8, they are saying it is more than likely the next Range Rover will be an inferior product to the current one. Apparently BMW spent a billion pounds developing the L322 and then the subsequent owners spent their share improving an already very good car.
Will Ratan Tata spend a billion in developing costs for the new one, probably not!

Such is life ........ Anyhow i've been told the deposit is refundable up until a certain cut off point so whats to lose ,

Also i don't live my life and bye products by what reporters write .........

I cant see anything wrong buying without knowing 100% what the finished product will be. If RR are taking on Bentley for customers with the new release then I recon the new RR will be awesome. People buy houses off-plan, get your name at the front of the queue and enjoy the anticipation!

I'm into property and when I sell off-plan, the buyer actually knows what he or she is buying, sees the detailed plans and specification, architect drawings and so on

hope it doesn't look like your avatar Mick.

its going to be awsome and were all going to want one.

Mick you long time dead mate so good luck to yer. 2004 black Vogue TD6

If you say so.

One problem I have with all the pending designs of replacement Range Rovers is the loss of their vast glass areas - look at the Evoque, it's not going to be easy to see out of the back or over the shoulders and the sketches of what people think L405 will look like don't show anything any better. I love the view out of current Range Rovers and Land Rovers, it's what makes such big cars so easy to drive. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

let's not all spoil the joy in reserving/buying a new model.
mick, i'm sure it will be everything you want and expect.
hope you enjoy it when you get it.

Well done Mick
I was going to change to a 4.4 but decided to wait until September next year...
When do you think we're going to see the first pictures? When did we see the first ones of the Evoque, can't remember

Thanks for all the positive replies gents and also other opinions the main reason I put the deposit down was because I was swithering between an Evoque or 2011 4,4 TDV8 but decided to hang fire and wait for the new model

When and if I receive any updates or pictures I will certainly post them

Mick, everything else aside, theres a good chance that a completely new RR will sell at premium for a bit so if all else fails and you change your mind, you could probably sell the build slot.... My Previous RR's!

Yes, great stuff Mick.

Didn't even know they were taking depositis already !

Should be a great vehicle, they think it'll be about 500kg lighter than the Full Fat don't they?
Fuel economy and speed should be amazing for a Range Rover.

Damn, I might have to start saving up...
Or sell some of the four motors I have.

Won't be a FFRR then, more like a SSRR (Semi-Skimmed)
