I can only image adding an extra 110hp to the 400hp I already have. It most be an amazing ride. I will definetly make time to test drive one. Not to mention, the interior dash/screen interface is completely revolutionary.

500 Ponies, Fresh new interior
............hopefully the reliability will at least catch up to that of every other SUV on the market. I'll always have a place in my heart for the RR

What a nice set of vehicles.
But what a headache to own. You better live close to the dealer if you want one because you'll be there monthly if not weekly. It's too bad really.

That was certainly true in the past, but remember that these are parts from the Jaguar bin and need I remind that Jaguar took number 1 in reliability last year. So maybe the RR is turning over a new leaf!

I love my Rover, and I do like the face lifts.
I just wish they would call the Sport something distinctly different since it's not a Range Rover at all.
As for the reliability 'issues' you guys seem to be hung up on... Since the Range Rover arrived at my house, it has been the most reliable vehicle here (yes, more reliable than my 1IS ... TWICE!)

Hopefully that will be true. As of this year, LR is still near the bottom according to JD Power. Hey, at least they managed to not be dead last for the first time in many years. Meanwhile, VW is pathetic.

Explain how Audi is at Honda levels and VW, the parent company has two times worse the quality. How do you spin that? I'm curious. Is a 2.0t in an audi built better or to a different standard than the one in a GTI/passat? A Porsche having the same "reliability" of a Honda? Nearly delusional. I mean, did they drunkenly pick these ratings?
Not to mention, consumer reports for all volkswagen products over the past three years contradicts JD power's study. Not suprising, Jaguar on top of Lexus is a dream in itself. JD power also has some "awesome" cell phone service/manufacture ratings that never add up in the end.
