They are spitting blood on the RRS forum!!

At least someone on there is sticking up for the FL2 having driven both cars.  Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

How could anoyone say that the LR2 is not a good ride? This thread reads like a couple kids arguing in the playground about whose toy is better. It is just silly. Coming soon: LR2 HSE; Alaska White; Nav; Premium Sound; Bluetooth; Lighting Package

Guess the RRS boys just did not think the FL2 will end up such a good car. LR
Anyway we cannot compare the FL2 to his bigger brother as the RRs has the air suspension (that we all probably would have wished to have) and therefore the extra TR setting that comes with the AS. The lower mpg they probably got for free.
I am sure that the newer technologies they envied in the FL2 will soon find thir way into the RRS -this or next generation but than the price will go up and they will end up wondering if a nw CD display and one touch window button are really worth the extra money. FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

They are both great vehicles. I say just drive them and enjoy them. No need to bitch about the window button or the key fob. Coming soon: LR2 HSE; Alaska White; Nav; Premium Sound; Bluetooth; Lighting Package

Absolutely, I for one WILL depart with another £60k+, but not for such trivial features....more for the thumping 5.0l Supercharged due next year!! Lest us not forget that the RRS was designed 2002-2004 so is not ever going to have all the features that come on the FL2 until a refresh occured....this due for MY 2009. RRS S/C HST - named Plantagenet Palliser

For the My09 it is a mild facelift externally, but with the addition of the 5.0l S/C and alleged 4.0 TDV8 engine wise. The interior is the main upgrade which is effectively a rework of the Jaguar interior (Sat Nav etc) and improved switching. I think they are starting to realise that the interior was the biggest let down for what is an expensive premium motor.

All good from my point of view. The NEW RRS will not be with us until 2014 at which point the FFRR would have been replaced, so if the spy shots of that are anything to go by, it will be another winner with agressive looks.

Roll on 2014 !!!

I have opted for a LRX (whenever it gets released) as an interim, but will have to get the revised 5.0l s/c.......naturally in HST form.  RRS S/C HST - named Plantagenet Palliser

The LRX looks greatas it seems that she will still have the LR DNA. If they will be able to deliver the mpg on the hybrid version is another story.
I will do the coward's option (will tell my wife that this is the reasonable/sensitive option thought) and will wait a year after the LRX will roll in order to considering to buy one.
Who knows what LR will tink to devellop meantime.

That will be me then!! Love my RRS and love my Freeloader.

I like teh way NPinks popped up at the end of that thread....I haven't seen a post in here from him yet and he's on there!!!

Even without the one touch windows I would take a RRS in a heartbeat

i'm back from Portugal and had a few posts to read on here, (and on there) and that particular post caught my attention

I also asked about parking at Wembly as i am driving down there for the Leeds Utd game  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
