well i had a chance to stop by one of the local dealers the other day and saw that they had one of the new range rovers out front. i must say that in person they look REALLY NICE. as ugly as they look in pictures, theres just something when you see one that makes it look really sleek and smooth. i also got a chuckle because it was apparent that this vehicle had been around the test course a few times- the front air dam was all scratched up at the bottom! bet that came out of that salesmans paycheck :eek:

there was also one of the revised discovery IIs there, now that is one mean looking machine. the new frontend looks killer, and so do the new revised tail lights. it also appears to have a higher stance than the older IIs. i would buy one if i had the cash, you can just see it with a nice winch bumper and 33" swampers :D

the cool thing about the new discos though is that it looked like you could bolt on the new front clip to an older style II. too bad that you would have to buy super expensive genuine parts to do it, but if i had a II i would be checking out the local rover salvage yard in a few months for vehicles that had been rearended really bad.

anyways, just felt like sharing :flipoff2:
