2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

You guys are strange.
This thing makes RRS S/C look BAD. If we are talking about onroad abilities it would be like a 1000cc Sportbike against a 50cc scooter. As to offroad it has just enough for me, i don't need serious offroad. It would have better build quality, it would have FAR more better and luxorious interior. And it would cost much more. So there is nothing to compare even. And you say that this is "just another BMW"... rofl.. and you drive just another ordinary rrs, just like many-many thousands... and alpina rarely produces more then 500-1000cars of each model, i.e. Alpina B12 e38 6.0 - it was only 94 cars ever produced, only 7 of them were RHD. 2014 Mercedes-Benz S500

Ok Shmoogle, it can't go off road it looks fugly and its a BMW on speed. As ever, why build a fast 4x4 that can't go off road. My mates E55 is a lovely saloon car goes very fast, it makes sense. My boss's DB9 is fast sounds great is fun it makes sense. A blisteringly quick high centre of gravity car that can't go off road does not make sense - is it me???????

Lamborghini is 4x4. is it supposed to go offroad?
Alpina cars have their own badge.
Being a BMW is not so bad, it has larger and longer history then LR, it made lots of legendary models and continue to produce very expensive and modern cars.

And I also wonder from what point you judge about new X5 offroad abilities? Did you drive one? Or your opinion is based on previous model? 2014 Mercedes-Benz S500
