Just nipped to the local dealer for a new badge & they had one there. It's bloody horrible from all
angles except from the front. The interior did look quite nice to be honest.

To be honest It looks like a transit van with windows in.

Might take a bit of getting used to!

My first thought was that Ford had accidentally created a 4wd version
of thier Transit Connect courier van.

I can honestly say, it's got disaster written all over it for me. I remember when the Disco came out, it
was a natural progression from the RRC (even though it wasn't meant to replace it)

This thing, apart from the money aspect (too expensive) is just a dog to look at. Hope it drives better
than it looks.

After making a vehicle like the new Range Rover, how can they get styling so wrong? The new RR is one of
the finest machines on the road, pretty good off it too I believe!

Lets hope it does ell well & is reliable enough to drag LR up a few notches.

You're not actually suggesting that the new RR looks good are you? I
suppose that It's a matter of taste - not mine!

With you on that one mate.

I still don't like the look of the current Rangie - I'd come to like the
look of the P38 by the time it was this old.

Still looks better than the Disco 3.

It's a cracking looking machine (well, it is to me) I never liked the P38 at all. The RRC has a sort of
timeless style that is still sort of 'cool' (hate the word, but you know what I mean)

The interior of the P38 isn't too bad, the new one is stunning inside, outside it just looks 'right' to
me. The overall proportions look right, the D3 is a mess on wheels.

It's all a matter of taste!

Even when viewed from behind?

As we've decided - It's all a matter of taste!

Havent been in a new Range Rover 'on road' yet but have been driven round
the Land Rover Experience course at Bluewater and it was superb off road,
would love to have one. As for the new Discovery its just soooo ugly. Hope
they dont do something too drastic for the new defender when it comes out.

yep, the new RR is to my mind pretty good. not much impressed with the new
disco, styling-wise, I have to admit.

Just because he's ugly doesn't make him a bad person <Looks out of window
