'06 Range Rover Sport

[Viggen]

Pretty cool vehicle, but nowhere as cool as the Range Stormer concept. I would definitely rock a two-door model if they had considered one.

still the same old range rover... they are like Porsche 911's... their body shape never seem to change for the past 30 years

wonder how much it would cost......

And is that a complete negative?

I think this looks quite good. Sticking to the tried and true Range Rover design theme and maintaining its recognizibility.

Should cost less than the upscale Range Rover.

And is that a complete negative?

well... I'm not a fan of SUV's in the first place but its not entirely negative... I actually like cars that keep the same body shapes. When a 1970's range rover pulls out... you would know straight away its a range rover without a doubt... not like some SUV's which are completely redesigned for a new model

Two tons and no more space than a wagon. Nuff said.

Short, phonetic form for "enough".

 

[andyhui01]

ahh... ok... thats why I said I didn't like SUV's... I rather buy a really nice wagon like the new Forester, Audi A4 or RS6 or an Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo (don't think any of the americans and europeans have seen this car)

 

[snars]

I don't see how a Range Rover could be 'sporty'. It handles BAD imho, and that's coming from a man who drives a 2 ton VW bus as a daily car.
You wouldn't buy this car for its handling, you wouldn't buy it for offroading, you wouldn't buy it for luggage space....just for its sheer size and blingbling-factor. It's not pretty, but it does look cool 8)

 

[hanasand]

People would buy it because of exactly the same reasons people buy an X5 or
an X3 (only the really dumb ones buy the X3).

 

[Jostyrostelli]

Yeah to make a "Wooshing" sound when they pass me...(big ass tires, and the enormous amount of air the push away in that block)

 

[justin syder]

an X3 (only the really dumb ones buy the X3).

someone on the forums has an X3, i forgot who. :lol: :lol:

 

[Ultra_Kool_Dude]

The X3 makes more sense to me. Isn't the X5 only 2 inches longer and 20 grand more?

 

[Jostyrostelli]

But how do you want to be seen? In an X3 or an X5?!?

I would never sit in an X3, simply because I have pride (no offense)
The X5 may not be very practical but I like that thing so damn much!
It's Pimp with those big wheels and the front is reaally nice

I agree it looks pretty cool 8) . They are taking some styling cues from the Stormer, hope they bring that into production.

It's final, it's going into production.

Are we talking about the sport or the stormer? :shock:

[hanasand]

Oh, it's the sport.. Dunno what's going on with the Stormer, which is really the coolest one..

 

[Overheat]

Never really saw the appeal of offroaders tbh.
