As it stands I do like it.... I wonder how much of that will make it into production. I can imagine them having to do some rework around the front end to at least acknowledge pedestrian safety etc. And I can't imagine the interior continuing to look like it does.

2007 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Rimini Red

Now that's a courageous design, especially the size of the tires (relative to the body).

Wish they make it in an RRS size.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Looks like the rear seats will have about as much headroom as in an Audi TT or an Aston.................. strictly a 2 adults + 2 tiny kids car. But I like it and it would fit in my garage if it isn't as wide as the F2!

I bet the mirrors don't make it into production either - they would poke out anti urban 4x4 folks eyes!
And LR had better make it with in a mega spec car with airsuspension and the full TR system and all the toys from an RRSport, with the quality of the FF, I'm sure they could sell loads of a £30-35k full spec cars as well as stripped out budget "City" versions for £12k - and it's got to have a version that can achieve 60mpg minimum, just to show the ecowarriors that it is possible to have a "green" 4x4 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Loving it! Bow down Bow down Bow down

What a shame that, like the Stormer concept it will end up looking nothing like it if it reaches production.

We all love Sports here, but wouldn't you have wanted it to look a whole lot more like the Stormer? Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

The best newpaper in the UK "The Sun" has reviewed the LRX and Ken Says

Quote:
KEN'S VERDICT

JUST brilliant! The stunning LRX underlines the fact that Land Rover are one of the great brands in the motoring world.

It shows that Land Rover are also deadly serious about tackling the CO2 issue, because this is the acceptable face of 4x4s - clean, green but still very mean.

The LRX is why people will continue to love 4x4s, because they are such fantastic all-round vehicles that meet the needs and the desires of the modern family

Just seen that article this morning.

Also about the carbon offset program. Funny how the tree huggers never acknowledge the GOOD work LR does, only bleat on about how bad their cars are! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

I think from a styling perspective it looks very nice, its just the 20" wheels do not show it off in the best light IMHO. Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

i think its one of LR's best designs, maybe a little more work on the rear and remove all the tin foil placed in the interior and put some quality wood thats in our cars now, also this thing better be quick! other than that i think its a must have. James A. Cadet

well i meant if they put it into production, they better put the new supercharged engine that would make around 460hp to the wheel i believe. James A. Cadet
