I tried to watch it but could not get it to load. After I entered my password it just hung.
Cheers for the commentary. Previously..

+1 exactly the same for me. Special emails, special codes, ... Complete anticlimax. Would have been nice if it worked. Evil or Very Mad Big Cry

United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Vogue SE Supercharged Java Black

I agree, looks much better than the current RR Sport and the L405 Thumbs Up

Interesting that all the engine options have 24 cylinders and the same capacity Shocked

I like the looks, bar some gimmicky details
definitely an improvement to L405 and old Sport

Interior however... will reserve judgement until seen in flesh, but don't like dash side vents, reminiscent of touraeg, nor am I a fan of the Gearshift, which looks like an incongruous afterthought on an L405 centre console. Also the Cayenne style hexagonal seat pattern on some is a bit Big Cry
Further to that, the rear seat arrangement looks clumsy, however useful it may be, and the seatbelt mountings protrude too far into the cabin: the system in the XC90 for example is much better executed in terms of packaging
Also lament the lack of slidey door bins à la L405, it looks wrong without the wood trim.

In summary then, much like the original launch of RRS in 2005: overall a very competent and exciting car, but one which needs alterations to the interior from launch Embarassed .

My choice would be an SDV8 SE in Corris with the with ivory grained leather and Grand Black trim, when it comes out.
Much like the grey one photoe'd by Autocar.
