Congratulations!

Please post pics of it on all fours. These Rovers on transport and tow trucks are all over the place.

I'm coming from a '16 which has been bulletproof. So much so that I have no intentions to sell. Gonna keep making memories with it while I take delivery of the new one. If I had a '21 it would be a little harder to justify for sure.

Didn't realize these pics were aplenty... my sales guy sent it to me because he knows I'm excited. Gonna black out the wheels and tint windows upon pickup. Will post more when I take delivery!

Break it in nicely. Stretch those seals and get the bugs out. Let it know it’s gonna have a harder life than the Queen’s estate Rover.

Took delivery yesterday. First thoughts are that the car feels massively different from my L405. Better in every way. Will post a thorough review with pics soon but to be honest, I'm just looking to enjoy the honeymoon phase a little while longer before diving into a photo/writeup session, etc. Ok just one pic for now...

It was worth the wait.

I like how this is modern but still maintains it's LR SUV shape and design cues.
It looks like an amazing machine. Huge congrats.

2022 Range Rover

I borrowed the new Range from my local dealer for a couple of days. The V8. Super car and I am just going to place an order for one. This car is the same colour as PureCoconut's car I believe (Batumi Gold) Pics below:

2022 Range Rover

So my wife loves the Batumi Gold colour above but Im not to sure about it. Its going to be her car so her preference is more important.

I was thinking about specifying different alloys and metal trims to take some of the silver elements out of the car in my pics above. Would make it more palatable to me. Please see pics below. Does this work better - so slightly darker alloys (not bright silver) and trim?

That was my bidder. I said get a 72 month extended warranty at MSRP and he instead paid $72k over MSRP plus the $3k buyers admin.

Lesson: You can’t find good help these days.

I'm more into classic design. That's why I prefer the Mercedes G-Class.

Wow, 75k over for a production Range Rover . People are wild. I’m looking forward to checking them out when they become available. If i end up pulling the trigger on a new suv, that’s going to be a top contender. I’ve wanted a Range Rover for a long time.

I apologize in advance, but, both are nice if you like boats. No need for anything that large and lumbering in my life. My little X-3 with the dual turbo six works great and is a lot more agile, fwiw. Maybe if I had a large family but with the current gas crunch; I'd be more impressed with an electric vehicle (not to mention the benefit on carbon emissions).
