WOW!!! those are some shots. I like the last few the most. I have driven a Range rover a couple times and they were always very nice and had the amazing off road capabilities . I think the reliability is the problem for most. You dont find many die hard Range Rover fans today. I am not saying there is not a community out there who loves them, but its not like the loyal following of the Rang Rover vehicles that used to blow us away when there really was nothing on the market that could compete.

Overall. What an excellent redesign. I like the fact that is it not a major overhaul of the current design.
It really is nice to see the premium double stitched leather (not sure why Lexus/Toyota went away from double stitching) and I also like how Land Rover still uses from captains chair armrest.
Land Rover really needs to work on the climate control. While it doesn't look cheap, rotary dials are out of place on a vehicle of this price.

I love Range Rovers! Our family has owned quite a few, I love the current RR design, IMO, because it is true to the original RR design. I've owned newer ones but have sold or traded them off but continue to keep and will never get rid of my '95 RR Classic. Owning any LR product is definitely a labor of love because of there reliability problems and cost to maintain- but that's why I drive a Lexus as well! When the Rover is in the shop, I drive my Lexus, LOL. I plan on picking up another used RR '06+ from the auction sometime within the next year or so if I have the extra cash. But before I do that I still want a '10 RX Hybrid when they come out!

They all look great. I just wish they had found a way to give the LR4 a diet. The LR3 is extremely heavy for a midsize SUV.
Hopefully the new Rovers have gotten the suspension and electrical bugs sorted out that plagued to current generation.
