2010 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Santorini Black
Horrible Land Rover start up screen graphic.....

Having gone to the trouble of replacing the horrible green LR badges with nice new black ones, I really don't like to see the nasty green LR logo every time I get in the car.

My Evoque has lovely Range Rover graphics even though its not an RR Neutral

By the way, I'm not talking about screen savers here which are easy to change. I'm talking about the start up screen which it seems is dam near impossible to change.

The new RRS is now definitely a Range Rover, not a Defender or farm vehicle, so why can't we have a classy RRS graphics on start-up befitting the car.

Not being snooty by the way, I just don't like the LR logo, colour and graphics for that matter. Lets have something appropriate for the car. Current...

i thought the Evoque was a RR, it says it is on the website Confused

Just do what most people do, press the start button, close your eyes and grit your teeth and hope it starts anyway

that way the logo will be off the screen or a christmas tree of colour Rolling with laughter

I don't see any problem with the logo, in fact I prefer it than the cheap looking RR one. It's a Land Rover, it should have Land Rover on the screen! Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

Yeah, a lot of people have no problem with it. And there are plenty that dislike it intensely.

Would be nice to have an option to choose, more useful in fact than the screen saver. Current...

Yes I agree, there should be an option, but personally, I don't see the point in worrying about it. Smile

If your Evoque has RR on the screens, that must mean it's a MY13? I was browsing a Evoque forum the other day and members were complaining that their MY14s had LR on the display. Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

I'm not going to lose sleep over it Chris but just seems like confused marketing/design to me.
For instance, why do the lights under the wing mirrors project Range Rover graphics and not Land Rover?

BMW, like some other brands, are subject to coding. A black art of hooking up a laptop to your vehicle to achieve customisation;
- these can be - enabling options that may not be available on the territory, enabling paid for options (like park heating) DVD on the move, or changing the appearance or even display of warnings and boot up graphics.

My gut is that the LR isn't different.
- I don't have the time to experiment...

But someone will; some day.

Like these guys did :-

I think they're in a branding mess and muddling their way through. Mixing the Land Rover and Range Rover branding makes no sense and I agree the Land Rover logo is looking very tired like that of Ford and Boots. Much better to think of Range Rover as a separate brand like Jaguar.

The situation has actually got worse recently with, on the Evoque, the reappearance of the Land Rover badge on the grille, and now the start up logos in the RRS. It's almost as if Tata are trying to keep the LR brand alive when, by a mile, most of their revenue - or at least profit - comes from Range Rovers. Mark

3 years ago the brands were being broken up and there was only going to be one Range Rover over the rest Land Rover, seems like last year that decision has totally been changed even L405 that started out with RR badges now has LR all over the place inc the screen and centre screen, a mistake IMO they should have kept to idea N0 1 everyone knows it's a LR regardless. The Evoque should have also been under the LR badge as this as really a freelander in drag a little like the old sport was a Disco in drag. 2014 5.0SC AB

I thought the Evoque was a new platform.
Could be wrong though. Happy to be corrected! Current...

On that basis, the original RRS should have been called a Land Rover Sport then!

For those with new RRS, do the wheel centres say RR or LR?

The Evoque and FL are built on the same line in Halewood, one after the other and it's easy to recognise the floor pan of an Evoque (before the sides go on and give the same away) because the centre tunnel rises rather higher in the Evoque with extra strength steel clearly visible to make the Evoque stiffer. The robots recognise which are they are working on automatically and things like the closures are made on dedicated feeder lines with different colour robots, the Evoque robots being a set of refurbished robots from the Jaguar X-type (rehashed Mondeo) days. Mark
