Blackadder on Range Rover Sports!!

“…………….and few marques have been hit harder than Land-Rover. I’ve been sad to witness this, although irrationally there’s a bit of me that has been yearning for some time for the Range Rover Sport to get its come-uppance. Perhaps it’s because for decades I’ve been a long-standing fan and purchaser of Land Rover Defenders that I get so irked by the unfeasible stretch of those ‘brand values’ from the rural through the suburban to the urban.
At least the standard Range Rover and Discovery are handsome, clever vehicles, but there is something about the Sport’s blingy, privacy-glassed tackiness, redolent of a Mancunian hen-night that seems totally to symbolise where it all went wrong.

However, their pariah status ironically is good news for those who like them: they have never been so available or affordable. The secondhand market is fat with cars that nobody needs……….”

ROWAN ATKINSON “Octane” #69 March 2009

Oh dear!! Rolling with laughter
