Report in the Echo tonight is that the launch of the new baby Range Rover is to have its world press launch in Liverpool this year, invited press from the world will fly into LPJL and then collect a new test vehicle, drive round a pre planned route of the city and local then when its all over drive back to LPJL and depart by air  They stated they are looking at booking two complete hotels for several weeks for this event. Could be some interesting visitors if t comes true  |

Halewood are proud to have the Evoque built there so its only fitting that JLR hold the press launch in liverpool as they have already used places around liverpool for advertising photos

The article says the launch is in July and the Journos will be visiting over a six week period to coincide with the launch.

Cant see journos having access to private aircraft, so 'interesting visitors' wise it wont be many if at at all.

If marketed appropriately it could add very significantly to KLM's interline traffic.

Maybe a number could come from Arab states who have a love affair with the RR marque and also the money to run one. They also have access to suitable private jets there is also the fact that a number of Sheiks own the magazines and local press. Lets hope eh !

Didn't Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham have some thing to do with the design in some way, whether it was the interior or what, so you never know she might make an appearance and she won't come by Easyjet. Regards Beemer.

She'll probably come by Range Rover.

I'm not a massive fan having seen it for the first time today on a tour of the plant....our guide kept pointing out how it looks completely different from everything Land/Range Rover have done before, but it really doesn't  .mic |

it looks nothing like what range rover or land rover have built before. discoverys and dfenders have flat backs and the range rovers have more of a curve. this has a sloped back end.
Soon ill be seeing them everyday as im one of the lucky 1,500 that got a job

I have owned several, good and bad over the past few years and have to admit I think the looks will grow on you, but it is a more modern variation on the previous model. But as the saying it something aint broke don`t fix it. ;D
