When BMW owned Range Rover they were all set to make the (then) new RR a rebodied version of the X5 (which itself is based off the M5 platform believe it or not!). RR fought tooth and nail to maintain 'proper' off road performance for the RR, arguing it's central to the brand....even the giant German monolith could see that, hence why the RR still maintained true off road features.Taipan wrote: ↑Wed Jun 28, 2023 10:59 amMany are guilty of fashion over function.

I dunno, have a look in the motorcycle section, I've just been moaning that my 87yr old 500c single makes better power and weighs about 50kg less than a brand new 2023 bike.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Wed Jun 28, 2023 10:55 am It'd be fucking stupid if a (pretty much) brand new car was significantly worse off road than a 60 year old design!

God no, what a load of pointless bling. The only thing on that affecting performance are those roof rails which mean it won't fit under a 2m height barrier.

Do you fancy a money pit?
No?
How about a money pit which is a ball ache at car park barriers and which is inexplicably slow given the size of engine? Step right up!

£30 a ticket but a £200k prize, or a load of farm machinery!

£15k? Either of those cars is worth way more than that...

Nowhere to park 'em ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
Come to think of it, I doubt that purple is a legit Mitsubishi colour? Probably knocks it quite a bit if so, a stock Evo VI is a proper modern classic now, but if it ain't stock....

I've been in both. My mate had a Subaru and I can only liken the experience to being sat in a oil drum and rolled down a mountain, it was that quick, loud and uncomfortable.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2023 3:26 pmIsn't that kinda the point with Evo's et al?
