SupraAyf Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm not sure about this in all honesty fellas. The price starts at a shade under 28k but my wife has looked at a few model options, with extra bits, and it would work out at circa 37k+ once the build was finished. She's been to the Newcastle dealer today who has so far received 75 orders for 65 cars; therefore, if we want to reserve one then a 1000 quid returnable deposit is due now. They don't have an example in the showroom so has anyone seen one in the flesh. Crickey, I don't even know if there is one about in the UK? What are your thoughts?

Westy Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 2 door coupe 4x4!? I like the front, but from the side the way the windows narrow out almost looks like its been squashed!? I dont think I'd be willing to spend that kind of money on it tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 You've got some good points there. It reminds me a little bit of an upgraded Nissan Qashqai. If you are silly with the 'Build Your Own' section of the LR Website then you can soon push the price up to 42k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Looks great but it reminds me of the Nissan Terrano or whatever it is called. It will also depreciate like a falling stone. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I saw it at the London yacht show. Very nice.... My choice is still the discovery, which is why the missus is ordering one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 For that money you can buy a real one, ok its used but at least its full size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Yeah I don't really get the point of that car really and where it fits in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Saw a white one on the road 2 days ago, in white, absolutely stunning. Complete head turner and I think it looks the absolute business. Gets my vote. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Seen a few of these as test mules on the M40 the past few months, IMO theyre ugly, especially from the back. But if you want a pointless softroader why not get the newest and best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 It's kind of like the X6.......It has no real 'place'. Nice all the same but not my thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 There seems to be a few more liking this car than not. I think I will have to see this mini-beast in the flesh before making a decision. The footage on the You Tube vid certainly made the car look quite small. Cheers for the comments guys and if you manage to grab a pic of this thing in the flesh then be sure to post it up, eh?

sideexitsupra Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Saw a couple of these on trade plates on the M5 a few weeks ago. One was White, the other lime green. One was a 3 door, the other a 5 door. They looked really good on the road. Get my new company car tomorrow and would have waited to look at these if the emissions were lower.

tkddav3 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 i think if your gonna spend a sizeable amount of money on a range, buy a proper one, i do like it, looks nice imo but i think youd regret not having that extra space that comes with a vouge or sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 victoria beckham has added her little touches on the interior, what could possibly go wrong lol Does look good, have not had any at the dealer i work for yet but looking forward to it. They want to make it good due to all the things that go wrong with the Range Rovers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimojameso Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Interesting info. That's put me right off. Ha ha ha. I sat in one at goodwood and i thought it was lovely. My dad has a proper Rangey and he really wants one now after seeing them there. Really nice car but rear legroom and boot are small!!

Honestly mate, would your pops rather have one of these over a Vogue. I myself have a Vogue and I don't think I would swap if for three of these. It's a bit like chalk and cheese between the two cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
