New range rover

Why sully the Mercedes name with the GLE, or the BMW name with the X6?
I preferred it too when manufacturers stuck to their own niche but those days are gone.

its a range rover
that all you need to know

The F-Pace looks miles better and it's basically the same car

It looks okay, just sad to see them whore out the Range Rover name but like said, the days of niche carmaking is over.

looks like a ford explorer

...

Other way around. Ford has been trying to knock off the full size Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, and the Velar looks like a smaller Range Rover.

Oh, well, excuse me then... Ford did or does still own Range Rover, correct?

See attached. Range Rover Sport came out before the Ford Explorer, which was a knockoff.

No, Tata owns Land Rover (which makes Range Rovers). Tata is a privately held poo in loo company that owns Jaguar Land Rover.
