A RR or any Landrover is NOT a SUV. In Australia speak, a SUV is something like a Holden SS Ute or an XR8 Ute but a RR is a 4WD.

Even my Freelander is not a SUV - it is an AWD or Softroader.

We must take every opportunity to stamp out Amercian speak whenever we can

Hehehehe

I completely agree with you Garry, it really got on my nerves at Cooma when the Land Rover Australia M.D. was going on about SUV's and 4x4's.

Cheers, Mick.

I've only ever seen one GAME, in Katherine a few years back. He was a tourist (in the NT? in the Dry? in a Land Rover? who'd have thunk it?) and it had a diff lock and other bling. Very nice.
Everyone seems to have forgotten that the GAME also came standard with a Fairey Overdrive. Not a big difference, granted, but getting more and more desirable these days.

Would love to agree with you, I hate the Americanisation (notice the "s") of Orstraaylia and the Inglish language. (Thats for Ron!)

Unfortunately, all of our motoring organisations, the NRMA, the RACV, RACQ etc now recognise the Sports Utility Vehicle as a descrete market sector.

The sad fact is also that the Range Rover is considered the seminal SUV, which in the words of the television programme "Torque" created a whole new class of vehicle.

I'm sorry the Range Rover is in the SUV class for keeps.

Oh....Congrats on the new Landie Feenie
Yellow is good Coz yellow is different and stands out, and makes a statement

I thought that Yellow 101 at the show up your way looked great, as you said, really stands out.

And I do like the look of the Game. Pitty they only used silver paint on the firewall if they galvanised them they would last forever.

Even more unfortunately you are right. We seem to be stuck with the terminology, although very few if any "SUV"s are remotely sports cars, very few are utilities, but I suppose all could be described as vehicles, more or less.

Simply another case of commercial organisations (I think the movers in this example were the motor industry associations - the motoring associations followed their lead) copying American advertising terminology in the hopes that the preponderance of this language on television will give them an advertising advantage.

Possibly it works, or they would stop doing it.

Ran pretty well (apparently) 2 years ago.
Has a Holden Motor but comes with a complete LR spare
Needs a new clutch, but has lots of extras. Good rubber, looks v straight and reasonably rust free. Perfect seats, good interior.
Dirt cheap too
Pictures to come......

In Canberra speak, this will mean a "liquidation of current Series 3 assets", and "consolidation/reduction of current projects" so watch this space........

too bad i missed killer driving out the gate on sunday his vehicle looks really smart snazzy and has an impressive colour.

i am sure yours will look just as good.

Ok, heres some pics

It has AVM hubs on the front? Is this just a mechanism to allow free wheeling hubs?
