Default 2013 Range Rover Caught without disguise

Someone spotted the new 2013 Range Rover uncovered in Land Rover garage in Europe. I won't name the source as it's obvious who found it.

sleeker design
there were too many little bits and pieces going on at the end of the the current generation, this cleans it up well

Does look sleek. It's got a little of that Bentley SUV concept and Ford Flex in the body

I am a little disappointed. Just doesn't look expensive at all. Too much Ford F-L-E-X!

i have never been a fan of the Range Rover. They are horrendously unreliable according to consumer reports. Why would anyone buy these things??!!

I personally think it looks ugly compares to the current model.

I think the Ford Flex has to much Range Rover.

Cant really see this design going anywhere else. An evolution of the classic Range Rover. Still looks great to me.

Not a fan. Lost that aggressive flair and looks more like a generic family hauler.
