Excellent. Always liked Range Rovers and concur on the superior looks.

Yeah everyone is jumping on the modular inline engine bandwagon that was started by BMW. Actually, I think Volvo may have been way ahead of their time in the 90s when they had an inline 4/5/6 all based on the same architecture. Not sure why they went with an electric supercharger to boost low end response instead of just a small electric motor. That being said, I'm wondering if they also use the belt-integrated starter to get the car moving when start/stop is used. I say that because it actually feels slightly more responsive accelerating after a start/stop.

Thanks! Probably not the kind of pics you were asking for but I found this hilarious. The car is in love with itself. In addition to projecting a stylized artists sketch on the ground when you unlock it, you see 2 pictures of it on the cluster while the infotainment system is booting Last edited by robg; 12-03-2019 at 06:52 PM. |

His car is absolutely the smoothest car I have ever been in and is incredibly nice. My other brother in law has the previous gen full size model. |

Nice. Although the current sport is built on the same platform as the full size (they even have the same wheelbase) the sport is tuned stiffer so it doesn’t have quite that same wafting ride. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
