Definitely evolutionary, but perhaps that's appropriate as the brand's senior model: to be a bit more toned down than the more stylish and radical Evoque. I basically like the clean, refined, even elegant styling, even if its a bit too low-key and not butch/flashy enough a truck for a lot of American tastes. Definitely more fox hunt than tractor pull.

That it shed an impressive 700lbs is impressive.

I think it looks good, seems this and the explorer keep trading styling between them. Seems natural they would take the sexy evoque look and bring it over a bit to the Range Rover

The RR faithful are probably pretty happy with it. I'm all about the simplistic/clean/elegant looking interior though.

The interior is nice enough, but not a fan of what they've done to the outside. I know they wanted to tie into the success of the Evoque, but it just doesn't work for me.

Reminds me of someone morphing a 2012 Explorer and a Flex.

No way worth the ridiculous MSRP that it'll sell for.

I think it's other way around, since Range Rover had this design since 2002 - way before Flex and/or Explorer.

Ranger Rover had the 2013 design since 2002? I can definitely see what 05GT-O.C.D. is referring to, speaking to the exterior design of the 2013 Range Rover.

Range Rover Mk. III was introduced in 2002 and it looks about 90% the same as the "new" 2013 Range Rover Mk. IV.

the rear overhang is the worst aspect, imho. The upward taper is for departure clearance, but I would have kept the accent line lower.
