GLS is basically just a stretched GLE, right? Although, in my opinion a more proportionately attractive vehicle. GLE is kind of ugly.

It’s the same platform and the interiors are largely the same, but they’re all different body panels etc. I agree the GLS is much better looking.

Learn something new every day just like the X7 is just a stretched X5 and I didnt know that about the GLS, I just thought it was the 7 series and S class but the SUV version. I do agree that the interior and exterior of the RR just looks more elegant/special to me than X7/GLS.

For me, I really have only one car. We have the van but my wife needs that for her daily use. She drives the kids around and the dog etc. So it’s about what is the best overall vehicle to meet a variety of needs, the Range Rober makes a great luxury vehicle and a great spacious go everywhere SUV

I thought this video was very interesting.
5.7 Toyota iForce. (US made)
I won’t ruin or spoil it. But, a few things I never knew. The 5.7 has two timing chains. Is practically a glorified 3.5 2GR engine.@Striker223 @AJT123 @SW17LS

RR by far the best looking of the non massive, non BOF category, and it’s not even close.
Bentley Bentayga is NOTHING next to a RR, looks and presence wise.

Have 3 of them. Currently on a 1,430 mile roadtrip in one with 227,700 miles. 10k mile synthetic oil changes. Half of the 1,430 mile roadtrip will be pulling a 8.5 x 24ft enclosed trailer. Helluva an engine.

The third row, I would take or leave. The third row would mean that we could drive it on trips to WV and it does have value there since we do things that are easier to do in an SUV. I like the GLS and X7 more than the GLE and X5 I would probably just leave the third row stowed almost all the time. Range Rover I would probably get the SWB with the 2 rows.

As for curb, MB does it best. When you get close to a curb or obstacle it would bring up the 360 view. Just awesome. Tesla is trying something like this but their imaging is just weird.

I wish it would also display the front camera when you approach the curb like Chrysler does.
