i still think a really nice classic is best..in looks atleast...a late 4 door in black..

i know i have 2 doors,but thats cos i can..but i recon "snot" (cos its green and always runs) my off road 4 door is better looking..though gets less comments than the 2 doors..

I like the look of two (three?) door classic - the 5 door looks like an afterthought - the proportions are all wrong. I owned one from (almost) new - I hated it!
 
Looks a reasonable motor. At least nobody appears to have dropped a grand piano on the back of the roof.
 
I do agree with those who think yhe l322,is the best looking RR , next to the classic of course,But if I "had to" go away for x-mas in the new one then....
I also think it´s wrong to name the (very good looking) evoque "Range Rover" , it would be enough name it Evoque, It´s a good looking city suv , but it´s no RR.

Seems its embarrassed to be a land rover.

Where would the Land Rover Evoke fit in the model line up? They already have the Freelander (which the Evoke shares much of its under-pinnings). The fact it's called a Range Rover means they can justify charging £10K+ more for it than the equivalent Freelander and at the same time push the price of the base (proper) Range Rovers up - the same way the Land Rover Discovery replaced the base Range Rover and allowed them to make Range Rovers more luxurious and expensive across the range.
 
As we've all seen, JLR is now one of the most profitable makers in the world.......why?

The L322 had a fat arse.
The L405 looks like it's clenching. Probably over the fear of getting it's feet dirty.
Give me a rot free Classic any day. :)
 
I like the looks of it. But it's not IMO a "proper" Range Rover.

And don't get me started on the "Sport".
 
The marketing guys define whats called what.......why would they rely on a "committee" of public/enthusiasts ( who only represent, what....5-10%?) opinions, as to what they should or shouldn't call any LR product?

If they are increasing sales, expanding their market (taking it from others!) and keeping the brand alive, then its heritage is safe with that rump of 5-10% of enthusiasts...why fret?

Looks heavy bodied .. I prefer the older style where they look to have more window space than body space. Looks unbalanced, though I guess it could be tha camera angle.

Looks OK in the flesh IMO, certainly less of a fat arse than an L322, bit academic though, if I had that kind of money an L405 is not what I would spend it on, the list of gizmo's that the L405 has that I do not want would fill a page:)
