Spy Photos: Facelifted Range Rover in the works
When you produce one of several bad-ass SUVs available to consumers, there's no need to mess with a successful formula. So while the Range Rover is due for some cosmetic tweaks, they're very subtle. Spy shots show the upper-crust truck with the stiff upper lip in action at der Nurburgring, reportedly vetting some powertrains that may not make it to North America. We may see the rumored 5.0-liter V8, but probably not the 3.0-liter diesel. No surprise. The tape job covers up the small changes to the front fascia pretty well, though the grille looks a little different upon closer inspection. But we just can't get over the image of a Rangie screaming around the track like an angered top hat, no matter what the styling changes are. [Source: World Car Fans | Photo: Automedia]

they're subtly facelifting an already subtle facelift? I didnt know Saab started making Range Rovers.
I guess Range Rovers don't have to change since theyre still selling like hotcakes. Still, it wouldve been nice to see something new

Yep, after 7 years on the road the slight and unnoticeable modifications to the bumper will surely make it look new. Reliability and drive-train wise, though, it remains consistently the same - at the bottom of the list, bordering Chinese cars.

When you're wealthy and cultured enough to use words like "prat" and "dollop" in sentences, then you'll just magically "get it".
