Post Refreshed 2010 Range Rover Sport

I don't think we talked about this much. I like it



It looks different. It feels different. It is different. Under the hood, a choice of engines creates an optimum mix of power and performance to optimize every driving style. And continuously reward every driver.

The new 2010 Range Rover Sport is defined by exceptional on-road dynamics, class-leading comfort and outstanding capability. Significantly revised body styling and new colors make for more charisma and appeal. The all-new interior delivers new seats, new luxury and an even more premium cockpit for a uniquely rewarding driving experience.

Two new engines, both improved by upgraded next-generation transmissions, offer unparalleled levels of refinement, progressive power on demand, and significant improvements in the delivery of torque.

The new 2010 Range Rover Sport promises more exclusivity, more performance and more capability.

Yep. They debuted at the New York show in April. Very beautiful updates across the range. They had a Range Rover Sport at the show in a blue very similar to the Ultrasonic Blue on the IS-F. Absolutely stunning.

I'm sick and tired of looking at Range Rovers, everyone drives it, from kids to old people, men and women

I don't think I like the Sport update as much as the regular Range Rover and LR4. Those came out perfectly and the interior redesign of the LR4 was much needed.

I like Rovers, but IMO that's not going to fix sales slide. I considered a RR Sport a couple years ago, but even with my deep Ford discounts, I couldn't justify the thing.

Agreed. I was extremely close to purchasing the supercharged RR Sport...but I just wouldn't pull the trigger. They were offering a great deal, but I just wasn't sold on it. Something about it was pushing me away. I would always see them around town, and thought they were very sharp. When it came time to actually purchase, I got cold feet.

Rovers are great, but RRS are just funny to me.

I also like the AMG M, but do not expect much better reliability from the 2nd gen ML (I owned a ML350 and reliability was poor to fair).

I agree, the W163 was absolute junk compared to the W164. My W164 (ML350 was a 2006 at 50K miles, experienced several warranty fixes including rear brake light assembly, power steering, power outlets, etc, but engine and tranny were strong and reliable.

even more premium cockpit
You are going to see an interior that takes luxury to the next level. There will be a lot of details done well. Even the B/C pillars will have double stiched material where on piece meets the next.

Let's see what Rover has for future products, to make them relevant again.
