Replying to: eelpout (Dec 23, 2004 8:11 am) did anyone else notice that the cargo space for the Sport, 71 cubic feet, is larger than the big RR's at 62? Not surprising I guess since the Sport is on the larger LR3 chassis.

I just order my Range Rover Sport HSE, with the Luxury package. I looked at many luxury SUV's and the Range Rover is a stand out in its class. I'm not so shallow that I judge my SUV preference by horse power and quarter mile times. I have the means to buy whatever I find that meets my rigid standards for ride, driver comfort, amenities, style, fit and finish, durability, reliability, maintainability, technology integration, and attitude. The Range Rover Sport has risen the bar in this competitive class of luxury SUV's. Replies to this message: hsquared (Mar 31, 2005 12:30 pm)

Replying to: lifeisgood (Mar 30, 2005 7:15 pm) To feel the need to let everyone know that you're not so shallow as to judge an SUV by horse power and quarter mile times, seems pretty shallow.   The tiny bit of marketing that Land Rover has done for the Range Rover Sport suggests that it's meant to be an X5 killer(my words). The performance numbers that they've released tell a different story. That doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile purchase. So, if you have the means, then by all means, get one.

Replying to: sta2 (Jan 15, 2005 12:12 pm) Just saw one Friday; it was a company test car driven by the company rep visiting the dealer. Second seats do fold: bottom tilts forward and the back folds down.   They have my order!

Replying to: tincup47 (Dec 20, 2004 8:28 pm) I believe center lock is standard, and rear lock is a $400 option.

Replying to: eelpout (Jan 06, 2005 10:43 am) Full rear hatch opens up, and a section including the window opens up separately.
#38 of 647 New Range Rover Sport by xkss Apr 04, 2005 (5:33 pm)
The 2006 Range Rover Sport will use the new LR3's chassis   The LR3 has an...   (from edmunds.com)   "Integrated body frame is just a fancy way of saying that the LR3's traditional ladder frame is aided in crash-worthiness by a body that has almost unibodylike strength. In most typical body-on-frame designs, the frame provides all the strength while the bolted-on body simply holds the passengers. The LR3's body, though, has extra strong sills that literally envelope its frame. So closely does it wrap around, in fact, that in the case of an accident, the body is forced into the frame rails greatly adding to its strength. Land Rover says that this significantly increases resistance during offset crashes, the common bugaboo of body-on-frame designs."     The 300 hp 4.4 V-8 used in the LR3 is based on Jaguar's 4.2 V-8 but modified for off-road duty. Jaguar's V-8 is not a Ford V-8. Jaguar's 4.2 liter V-8 does not have the potential timing chain tensioner or nikasil problems of the 4.0 liter V-8 from the 1997-2000 XK8.   Check this link:   http://www.jagweb.com/aj6eng/v8_performance.html Replies to this message: blckislandguy (Apr 08, 2005 6:57 pm) merc1 (Apr 08, 2005 8:58 pm) xkss (Apr 10, 2005 10:26 pm) blckislandguy (Apr 12, 2005 4:42 pm)
#39 of 647 Tires and Wheels on Supercharged - Off road use? by bgreig Apr 04, 2005 (6:41 pm)
Are the tires and wheels (20") planned for the Supercharged Sport suitable for off road use? The low profile tires on my Mercedes S500 seem to work wonderfully on the road, though they wear out in 20k miles or less. And the tread design is anything but even "mud and snow." Will that be the case for the tires on the Supercharged Sport? Are these same profile tires offered on any Land Rover vehicle, and if so what is the experience with them off road?   Would a Supercharged Sport used for off road be better equipped with the standard tires and wheels of the regular Sport model?
