What the Jag????? Excellent, I really should read the full spec Laughing

Kingpleb:

If I were to stick with the Rangie I would keep it another year or so before chopping it in for the right spec L405 SDV6 Vogue SE Thumbs Up A petrol FFRR is just daft to me when then TDV8 does the job perfectly well (albeit without the growl!) and I've not looked at the RS6 but I did think about an RS5....briefly...but Audi is the new BMW and although not wanting to tarnish all with the same brush I think I'll just not join that club for now Whistle

The Maserati looks very, very nice but my brother has a quattroporte and it costs him an absolute fortune and is not particularly reliable Shocked still he used to drive TVR's so the Maz must seem great in comparison Laughing

As for the D4 it has to be a Bali Blue HSE (so can't be any newer than 11 plate sadly) with Black Leather, side steps, tow bar, factory privacy glass and the full RSE system..........not that she's being picky Whistle

The SDV8 is worth the extra few pennies though Smile The MPG isn't much worse and by golly jolly it dont half shift and the SC.... hmmm that does go well indeed between petrol stations!

I can see why LR offer the V6 but to me, the V8's are the engines really meant for it and i can only imagine more weight will come off the car in following years as i reckon they can save another 100kg in places without anyone noticing Smile

a 5.0 SC FF though... Not that much money and the money you save could go on fuel and still have a play car for weekends albeit not in the big budget you were looking at Smile

Debadged RS6 Avants though are nice and most people dont recognise the exhaust and just see audi estate until it gets a move on!

An M5 could be another option although im guessing your wanting a drag top for the warm summer day we get here Smile They do a drag top version of it IIRC but its named after the M6 for some reason! FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

You can pick up an Aston Martin V8 Vantage soft top that's been looked after for reasonable money if you don't need two rear 'seats'. Smile Current MY2020

United Kingdom 2014 Range Rover Vogue SDV8 Luxor

I run an XKR as well as my Vogue and I can only say that they are fantastic. I have owned lots of cars in the past and don't tend to keep anything much longer than about a year, but I have owned my XKR nearly four years now! its only the 4.2 but it is a fantastic car - the sound as you all know is awesome.
I have driven the 5.0 and can't justify the extra cash as its basically the same car just younger.
I have recently test drove the "F" type and I have to say its not for me.... I will have a look at the coupe when it comes out but the current F type one just don't float my boat.
