And for the love of god, please stop with the "Landies" and "Rangies" and everthing else-ies. Seeing people cutesifying words with "ies" is like a screw driver through the eye socket to us regular people.]]>Feb 9th 2008 9:32AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/
And this Landies and Rangies thing is stupid, because it makes no sense. Range Rovers are Land Rovers]]>Feb 9th 2008 9:41AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/
Well Tata might still source engines and other components from Ford after they purchase Land Rover and Jaguar.]]>Feb 9th 2008 10:06AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/Feb 9th 2008 9:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/
By the way, did someone totally skip over the line about 2 and 7 series volvos? What are those?]]>Feb 9th 2008 11:23AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/7 series Volvo: 740/760 model range, also the basis for the 9-series Volvos. ]]>Feb 9th 2008 11:58AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/

That engine is still produced in an aluminum block version (for the Roewe/Rover 75 V8) by SAIC.]]>Feb 9th 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/Feb 9th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/
In particular, the BMW 4.8 blows away the Range Rover with gobs of power--350 horses and 350 foot pounds of twist.

If the Range Rover had that kind of power, it would be an easy decision. The super charged RR isn't worth $94k to me. Let's hope they announce something soon.]]>Feb 9th 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/09/land-rover-developing-new-5-0-liter-v8/
Dearest Citizens of the United States of America,

In light of your failure to understand the true heritage and purpose of our beloved Land Rover, I feel it is my duty and obligation to inform you of the history of this beloved British Icon.

The first of all Land Rovers was designed and built over 60 years ago on a small farm north of what is modern day London. The earliest of Land Rovers were to be military vehicles. As such, they were all terrain, four by four, and had the capability of being field-serviced. Thus, the cars were simple and utilitarian.

That being said, Land Rover has a rich heritage of building and supplying no nonsense utility vehicles to the most remote areas of the world. Dare I say that Mercedes Benz and BMW have no such history? Mercedes Benz and BMW are nothing more than luxury automobile makers whom happen to play “ball” within the idiocracy that is the American “sport utility” market. The “G” wagon you ask about, well it is nothing but a Joker. The “X” series you all so desire is merely its follow up Court Jester.

To those of you who have “cross-shopped”, I excuse your stupidity. You know, as well as I, that you are merely clowns dressed in casual attire. I, however, see through this disguise. Please, enrich yourselves in the basics that is “Automobile 101”. I’m sure there is a class at your local county college.

I will have no further comment about this matter.

Sincerely,
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
