Nice looking SUV. Has clean design. Of course there are some areas that make no sense to me yet overall good evolution.
Anybody watch the 2022 Rangie reveal?
- Thread starter Blueboy
- Start date
"Prices for the Range Rover will start at $104,000 and run up to $163,500 for a loaded V8-powered long-wheelbase First Edition model when deliveries begin next spring."
And I expect it will be worth the money. I didn't watch the hype, but I did read LRM's review/photos and the sophistication of the technology in that vehicle is remarkable. Also, it all sounds superfluous to my needs, but DIY Disco fixers are not the target market and the Range Rover has come to epitomize the ethos of "I don't need it, but I have it because I can." It seems like a vehicle I'd enjoy driving but wouldn't want to own.
That is one beautiful "sport utility vehicle". It's obviously not aimed at hillbillies like us but it sure is purdy.
the amount of stupid comments at the end of that article.
why do the uniformed always have the most to say?
There is some wisdom to be found...
The only range those things will rove will be parking lots in high end shopping centers.
Yeah, probably will not see too many on Black Bear pass yet there are still some that will at least take it on forest roads.There is some wisdom to be found...

How do you rationalize a first model year 100k vehicle as "worth the money"?
Its not. Neither is any new vehicle.
But, if I won the lottery, this new Range Rover would be bought in a second. I love the way it looks.
How do you rationalize spending $100,000 on any car? And when has owning a Land Rover been rational? I'll offer my point from a different perspective: my suspicion is that nobody who buys the new Range Rover is going to feel like they paid too much for what they received. They are going to be satisfied with the purchase, impressed by the performance, and appreciative of the luxury. When the automatic folding picnic table stops working, that's a different story, but hopefully that won't be for a while.
So far I can't rationalize that. Shit just saw the pix on cnet. There is a picnic table! I'm in!!!
Only car I have spent money on new was my 95 disco. Still regret not doing a D90 as that would now sell for more than 95 purchase price.
If I had 100k pocket change, pretty sure that RR would be top of the list. Really awesome looking vehicle, will sell like hotcakes.
I always felt the same way on first year models yet not as much now with the extensive testing performed. Especially with the loaner cars provided by dealers - at least Audi provides the current model year for their loaners. They gave me a brand new Q7 for 3 weeks until a part came in for my 2004 A4!
I’d purchase a new Rangie over the Bentley, etc marques that are being offered.

You might want to rethink that with some of this new stuff. I can tell when something is early production cause there’s always a bunch of 0’s and for some reason 3’s in the last 6 of the vin. A lot of those early trucks have software issues and what have you. I’m sure some exterior trim will get changed on the Defender. Exterior trim making noise is one of the complaints I see the most.
Or......."They are going to be satisfied with how impressed everyone is with their new purchase."
