It's a 'Range Rover' for people who queue-up to buy gold-plated ear-rings at Christmas.
Might as well re-name the Freelander as a D3Sport. The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

it's funny, i quite like the RRS on some days of the week, and then the next day i can't stand them,, usually after seeing some footballer type looking like a muppet etc etc etc..
at least they look better than the BMW X6, now there's a p+nis extension if ever i saw one..
