Luke Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Are these really naff or very cool? Please dont get to heavy on the global warming angle just want to know how people view them as an image. Lots of ladies where i live drive them, most of them look very hot . Most guys seem to be chewing gum and looking 'ard. Cant make my mind up....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activa Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 They look O.K if driven properly. Unfortunately most are driven by muppets,so that for me removes any hint of "cool" that may have been there in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Regardless of it being a good vehicle / bad vehicle I think they devalue the whole Range Rover image, they should have called it somthing different to their 'prestige' model (IMHO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 interior isnt as nice as the proper one, and its based on discovery platform. the v8 sooty is the one to get - enough shove to push the big heavy lump, but not quite as terrible at the pumps as the supercharged v8. its a popular car, whatever the reasons for it, so they hold their value reasonably well. Was helping a friend pick one the other day- the dealer had a white one that looked very pimp-my-ride, if thats your cuppa tea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I saw one being driven by a man the other day........ .....just kidding.

theduisbergkid Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 A mate of mine has one in black, he loves it, and I must admit the interior is very nice IMO. However, the image ?!

330dcoupe Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 A friend of mine recently got his V8 Diesel Range rover in white with bodykit pack - I have to admit, as ashamed I am of saying this - but it looks the dogs boll*cks. Bigger bumpers/chrome wheels/square chrome tailpipes etc - and he's had an extra 50bhp added to it, courtesy of a re-map - and the thing actually shifts - compared to the V6 diesel - which is slower than me old man's sprinter van. It has about 320bhp - which is a fair whack. but to be brutal, I'm sick of seeing WAG wannabe women and 'ard' geezers driving about in them - Of course Range Rover/Land Rover/Whoever- won't give a monkeys - they're making money like never before.

Mook Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 ML63 AMG - a car the size of a house that's quicker than a shed load of toys. I'd like a spin out in one, but not sure I could own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair_A3 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'd own one but i'd need the cash to have other cars aswell. At the moment i could only have something like that as my only car, which i wouldnt want. Although i'd also be seriously tempted by the M5 Touring something like this http://www.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/auc/car_details/0,,1260_159980106__,00.html?currentCh=WBSPV92020CX03107 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
