thread_title: Rettendon Murders

message: This article is pretty bad. First and foremost the amero-centric use of SUV. When the RR was developed there was no such term. The term is only used in the U.S. and India, so why use it for an article on a British product? It is an off-road vehicle. 
*I don't know where you live in the U.K., but I am also from the United Kingdom and commonly hear "SUV" used. You may be correct that when the RR was invented the term did not exist, but it certainly does now, in many countries of the world. To call it an off road vehicle is much more incorrect, as the Range Rover pioneered the idea of having a 4WD vehicle with high ground clearance, large wheels and robustness mixed with the ability to travel perfectly well on the road - unlike a dedicated off road vehicle, which are usually terrible on standard roads. Mr. Bridger 14:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't agree with it being called a SUV, first of all the model is older then the trend itself. Moreover, I believe it has real off road capabilities, which means it's not a SUV...

text: *It is correct that the interior of the earliest Range Rovers could be hosed down, but the car also contained many luxurious features - more luxurious in some cases than the most luxurious saloon car of the day. My father has owned two classic Range Rovers, the first of which started off fairly standard and was lovely. Even driving it on tarmac was fine, it just cruised along. Perhaps you are trying to compare the Range Rover with luxury cars in production today, which would be a mistake, and compared to these, the Rangie may not seem very luxurious. Mr. Bridger 14:17, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

text: *Indeed, take Mercedes-Benz, indisputably a luxury car. A Mercedes S-class from the 1970's looks downright spartan by today's standards. The Rangie has evolved similarly. As for calling it an SUV, I agree that it could not have applied to the original Range Rover since the term simply didn't exist. At that time, a Chevrolet Suburban was a truck, but in the 1990's I guess, it was tossed into the SUV crowd. (These days it seems that almost anything can be called an SUV, anywhere from a station wagon to a minivan to a sports car to this behemoth.) —Travistalk 14:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Some user named 'NavMan25' has been persistently vandalising the page, with such phrases as 'penis mobile' and of course bigging up the Hummer H2 - can wiki admins please deal with this. Besides, who the hell wants an off road vehicle that has a ghastly interior made of poor quality plastic and is named after a blow job? --Fordsierra4x4 (talk) 22:07, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

message: This article seems to completely ignor the 3 door van and wagon versions of the car. Also should it not mention the Range Rover convetable that featured in one of the bond films?(Morcus (talk) 19:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The three-door is considered the "Range Rover Classic", which has its own article. Personally I think this is arranged poorly, and the present article should be renamed in some way with the one entitled just "Range Rover" being a disambig, as happens with things like the Ford Escort, for example. – Kieran T (talk) 19:44, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I remember in my time in the Royal Air Force that we had a Range Rover based airfield fire appliance, it had a double rear axle to give six wheels and leaned quite markedly on bends when full of water! I have 'Gloster-Saro' in my head. Do we have an article on it? Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 00:49, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it worth mentioning the Range Rover in context of environmental concerns, something along the lines of criticism of emissions from large high performance vehicles? 
Regardless of debatable political or environmental agendas, it would seem that this category of vehicles do attract a certain amount of negative publicity, as even Jeremy Clarkson seems to have acknowledged. Could be worth including, even if just a small mention with a link to another Wiki article about climate change debate. 
Just a thought.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dead celeb (talk • contribs) 23:36, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  RANGE ROVER VOGUE 

message: Lexus LX mentions the Range Rover Vogue for 2007 but this article only mentions the Vogue for 1970-1996. Only when I read Range Rover (L322) do I see that the Vogue name continued onwards. I'm not very knowledgeable about Range Rovers, so can someone fix this? Thanks.  Stepho  talk  21:44, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vogue after 1996 

message: The infoboxes seem overly large and overly details for an overview article. It would be better to trim them back. Ie change the detail lists of engines and dimensions to simple ranges, eg 3rd gen length: 194.9-195.9 in. Even better if we removed them altogether? Only the top infobox is helpful here. The rest are more appropriate in the detailed articles on each generation. Comments?  Stepho  talk  13:19, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: My thought is that the main article should have enough information for someone to get basic details and information about the car without having to go to all the sub-articles. The infoboxes could do without long lists of engines, but this is a pretty skimpy article as it is. IFCAR (talk) 05:07, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

message: So most of these vehicles are V8 but the article, unless I missed something, doesn't give a ratio as to how much gas any of these vehicles consume according to distance.  Can someone provide us with that information?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 (talk) 04:56, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is only an overview of all Range Rovers. To view fine detail such as economy, look at the 'main article' article for each type that you are interested in. E.g. Range Rover Sport.  Stepho  talk  07:30, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

message: There has been a slow motion edit war unfolding on this page as to whether the Range Rover falls into the "mid-size" or "full-size" category. None of these assertions have been sourced and all of them seem to be based on the subjective opinions of editors, and thus likely constitute WP:ORIGINAL research. On top of this, so far as I can tell the "mid-size" and "full-size" descriptors being used are US industry WP:JARGON derived from commercial vehicle size classes, something which is completely irrelevant to this article as the Range Rover is a British passenger car and not an American truck. Please remember that according to WP:ENGVAR this article should be written in British English, and that where possible we should seek to use WP:PLAINENGLISH.
