i may be a part of stuck culture but i'm still all about the L322, i just feel like it's the end of the range rover era... what they replaced it with is remarkably capable and baller as hell but it's just not a range rover when i see it

clarkson and harry metcalfe still use a L322 model, but i guess that doesn't look good for my stuck culture premise lol

I like the L322 visually but we never got the best version, as far as working on them the L405 is EASY and being all aluminum is such a game changer.

The engine is also my favorite by a landslide since you don't have to deal with turbos or BMW V8 nonsense.

Pure looks I like the disco 2 the most, it's just peak Africa trip vibe

When you see a Range Rover you will never think of a Flex lol. For one a flex is sedan height and a Range Rover is Tahoe height. Flex is long and RR isn’t.

the flex just needs a black roof and it's essentially the same car

jill is truly a visionary for making this connection, idk what the designers at range rover were thinking with this one... i mean just what would your clients say after formerly seeing you a classy benz?!?

Seeing a Flex is very rare now. I don't remember the last time I saw one.

To each their own. SUVs, crossovers, etc. do nothing for me. Soon, that will be all we have to choose from. I am getting a sedan while there are still some available.

disco 1 and 2 both have that perfect safari look

my friend still has a 1995 discovery... it's total crap in nearly every regard but that 3.9 keeps chugging along! my favorite part of riding in that car is getting out so i can see the exterior again lmao

Y'all, let's get real.

A 2025 Range Rover looks nothing like a POS Ford Edge.
