Friend's Range Rover Sport / Supercharged Range Rover
Nice rides.
You would think if you owned both, you'd have pictures of them together. That would be pimp. Never heard of HRE making wheels for anyone, from the Overfinch site none of those wheels look like they are forged multipieced wheels http://www.overfinch.com/?node_id=1....Wheels_&_Tyres
They look like 22x9.5 or 10 948R in brushed aluminum running what looks like a 265/35-22 on the sport, the other one looks like 22x9.5 or 10 647R black with chrome lips 265/35-22.
Those 940s will set you back almost 10gs.

^^ The days of heavy escalades and barely any performance are over. People are on the urge to get the most out of their money. Performance / Luxury / looks / being unique. All these things are adding up for bigger better companies to step up like Porsche , RR, and many other ones to come out with these cars. Your result: People buying them and enjoying them more. I don't know, you must be unique but these cars look sexy specially in person they are something different.
What kind of suspensions do these Range's have? Everytime I see em out on the street, the rear always has a ugly sag to them. I seen one take off at a light, and when he floored it, it looked like a ton of weight shifted towards the back and the nose hopped up, looked horrible.

They look nice but two of the Range Rovers have made it onto Forbes list of the "top 5 unreliable luxury vehicles." The Sabb 9.3 also made the list. I was considering the 9.5 when I bought the G.

But, they also wrote this- TL VS. G35:
http://www.forbes.com/vehicles/2005/...17show_ls.html
and then write this:
We think the current G35 is one of the market's great sedans, both in terms of styling and in terms of sporty driving dynamics--and we have honored the car in plenty of ways in the past. But the Infiniti Coupe prototype from January's North American International Auto Show in Detroit made us so excited for the forthcoming G35 replacement that we started to forget the current car a bit. We were in awe of the Coupe prototype's nods to Japanese culture, such as a 2-inch strip of chrome on the bottom edge of the exterior sides, part brushed metal and part smooth chrome, that was designed to look like a Japanese sword. The matte texture of the metal interior trim was meant to look like rice paper. How cool is that?
