the only thing i dislike about it is that you can hardly tell the difference between an HSE and a Supercharged aesthetically. In the previous models there was a much more defined and easy to spot difference between the two, in my opinion.

in the latest issue of italian mag "Quattroruote" there a full test of range rover 3.0 tdi Autobiography (€125.000 car tested)

+:
*comfort (confirmed the benchmark of bentley)
*lighter (..but not as LR press-date said...)and a new agility never seen

-:
*front seats not so "comfortable" after hundred km (despite test-car was equipped with full electric seats and massage function).a little wider seance would be perfect for Quattroruote
*esp has to a lot of work ,sometimes exhagerated in the second part of the obstacle avaoidance test(realignment)

It seems that way from the videos. I think that the will be much more noticeable in person. There are wheels only offered on the SC and AutoBio, chrome strip under the front bumper (like last year) and some chrome on the side.

Thanks, good info. The seats are being complained about in a few different reviews of having a flat bottom and being uncomfortable for long trips. I hope its not true for me. Only did a 30minute test drive and they were fine thus far.

Don't know who that guy is. Since I ordered my car in Sept and it wont be here for another 4 to 5 weeks, I am always on youtube looking for new reviews of it.

Have you been having issues with the MP?

I usually buy them slightly used after they take their depreciation, and am trying not to think about it. I sold my 11'CTT back in May with the plan to replace it with something of equal or lesser value. So I was waiting over the summer to see the new SL550, M5, S8, and RRSC. After checking out the others I realized that they were going to lose their appeal after 6 months and I would be looking again. I remember loving the Rover's I had, and read many amazing reviews about this new one. After driving it, I am convinced that its the best choice for me.
Also, I have never had all those bad reliability issues in the past. So hoping for the best.

Quickest depreciated SUV ever made. You get it because you want to seen in an RR. Other than that there many better choices at a lower cost. "Look at me I drive an over priced SUV and I am important so look at me please"
