    Nobody is going to take a $165,000 luxury SUV bush-bashing through the Simpson Desert.

    I like the Range Rover Vogue Autobiography, a 5.0 litre supercharged V8 that is quicker off the mark than a Falcon FPV

    The price tag for that one though is $212,000.00 I wonder how quick JE Engineerings "Zulu" Defender is ?? That has the 5.0 litre supercharged Jaguar engine in it but is half the price, now that I could take off road

    The current model is pretty frugal. My mate's is on 11.3 l /100km.

    I was out in the new RR a couple of months ago and the new engine/g-box is superb. I didn't think it could be possible but it is noticeably better than the outgoing model.

    ...and it sits quite happily at 200KPH...

    I would and have had my $169k RR off road when and WHERE I can. The 20” rims make it pretty useless for any serious off roading.

    I have also got as low as 9.1L on a number of runs out in the south west, on flat roads, travelling at no more than 115 KPH and I average no more than 11.5 around town at any times.

    On one trip WAY out west on a long section of flat open road, over a 120km section of road, I averaged 149.7 KPH and the on board fuel reading was just over 12L, but I don’t know how accurate that is.

    But I have to be honest, unless there are some radically improved features, I can’t see why any body would now buy a new RR over a D4.
