Honestly I could give 2 ****s if it breaks down weekly. I love it and just want it lol. The Sport Supercharged is just incredible to drive and be in and looks great (IMO) inside and out. Status in spades..

actually quality and reliability are directly related. what you describe is 'perceived quality', that is, what people touch and feel and see, mainly the interior. but quality absolutely applies to the drive train and everything else too and people should expect 'top notch execution' and precision there too.

my brother had a range rover (non-sport) for a couple of years and LOVED it. and i went in it and it was AWESOME. he had no problems at all with it.

this video describes the car best, I could never afford a LWB or autobiography. But its the same attributes that make the RRS just right for me.

That's a great choice. I'm generally pleased with the new direction of LR, as their vehicles are as capable as they are chić

No reliability issues on my 2012 Range Rover. Just an awesomely capable car.

The new RRS just plain looks awesome. I've seen a few of them around. Not surprised about the huge wait times to get one. Totally badass status mobile here in the super snobby DC burbs.

Richard takes the new Range Rover Sport out for a test drive - which includes a lot of mud, water and some very steep hills. It's then up to The Stig to test out the 'sport' part of the Range Rover's name.

I got to drive this 2013 Autobiography Sport for the weekend. Most solid SUV I've ever driven and fast as hell. If you've never driven a Supercharged Range do yourself a favor and test drive one.
