Why do rich people like Land Rovers so much?
 

Are they any good? It seems like an odd status symbol? What gives?

the are expensive :2 cents:

they like paying more for things
including gas and repairs

They like Range Rovers

not land rovers

there is a fallacy right there:winkwink:
I like our LR :thumbsup

Perhaps its because we can afford them? A bit like apple products?

you mean the part about paying more for things :)

Its because we think they look good, they drive some what alright, and everyone else has one. ;)

I wanted to treat myself to something expensive today so I filled up my car :D

gas and repairs as well, I happen to like the look of them :thumbsup

They look hottt!

the land rover brand is widely used by british royalty. they are actually a pretty decent vehicle for off roading but 99% of people that own one will never do that.

there is a ton of technology put into the car and they have become the standard for luxury SUV's with the Range Rover

I could certainly afford on but I would be afraid to be seen in one. You are almost asking for the beat down driving one of those (just like owning an apple product).

its about class. and satisfaction.

but they are made in 3rd world country by stinky indian people

:shrug:

You are absolutely correct, I would never use ours for offroading, but I like the fact that it will go anywhere in the winter without Mrs FUBAR getting stuck :winkwink:

they look good?! they are a status symbol?!?

For the same reason they like tweed jackets and inbreeding?

You don't really have to be rich to have a land rover...but to answer your question, they're mostly yuppies.


You can get a used one, just a few years old and they only cost about $10k, for a really nice one. They drop in value really fast... kinda shitty cars. But whatever floats a persons boat.

Are you sure you are talking about a land rover? Like in land rover defender? I'm sure you mean Range Rover :)

i think the new rr evoque is pretty damn good looking

They are made in Solihull near Birmingham, UK - so yes, you're about spot on.

:) .

dont like the look of it , prefer my Dodge Magnum over that.:winkwink:

i meant in terms of the brand, that's the problem imo for rr, they lost their edge. it used to be THE luxury off-road vehicle with gobs of style, then went to stylistic shit. i like how the evoque signals their attempt to re-embrace style.

i like the looks of the Ranger Rover Sport
but very bad ratings on Land Rover in the USA, they're allegedly prone to defects and from what I've seen rank pretty low in terms of quality which is too bad

land rovers are driven by the royals (or at least used to be) and the posh types.

a lot of farmers drive them (in the uk)

also they are (or were) driven by the uk army.

they have a sort of status.

besides, any car from any country these days looks better than any car from the usa.

i do not know what has hapened to usa cars, they used to be stunning. but usa cars these days are so ugly.

if i felt like it, i could prove you wrong with about 5 cars from here and 5 cars from there EASY.

Thread officially ended here....

Julius, I love you!

what are you supposed to put in the back seats? midgets or dogs?

I agree.

They are considering building factories in India and China, they haven't done it yet. Currently all Landrovers and Range Rovers are made in Solihull and Halewood in the UK, and Jaguars at Castle Bromwich. The engines are built in Ford factories in Bridgend and Dagenham. Next time you want to know anything about the British car industry, hit me up yeah?

I use mine to haul my kids around. They love it.

The milfs and bitches tend to like it too.

lol gayest thing I've seen for a while.

The Range Rover Evoque has won the 2010 Car Design of the Year award.

You are correct!

People buy it because of this:

Best to buy one used for about 5 years and then strip everything off of it and sell that stuff to recoup the cost of buying a more expensive used vehicle. Then you can take it offroading.

What a bunch of anti-american tripe. I don't think those guys have ever liked an American vehicle, even when they are amazing to drive. Why did they drive the Cadillac off the path at a 90 degree angle into a ditch at the base of a hill? And the Hummer just suddenly died? I used to drive through worse shit in my parent's crappy V6 blazer when I was a little kid.

Reminds me of when they drove the ZR1 Vette, they complained about how the GPS had McDonalds restaurants locations built in.

That's a toy.

The X5 M
For the real men. Blows the doors off even a supercharged range rover and Porsche cayenne... in so many ways. Looks better too imo.
