Based on appearence alone, do you consider this a luxury SUV?

For $80K, its rear, rear quarter, and side profile do absolutely nothing for me. In black or white, it would just blend it with everything else large on the road; like a fed or rental car company fleet SUV. With a metallic paint, the ostentatious huge chrome grille says tarted up brash American SUV.

Compared to a $93K New Range Rover, which oozes elegance and $$$$$ from every angle, it seems like a rip-off. That said, the New Range Rover is probably more like $100K if you can even find one for sale, and 25% more dinero is not an insignificant sum.

The Range Rover is ugly. And always broken.

The Range Rover comes from a tradition of driving over rutty country roads and fields, which implies having money. The SUV is for driving around suburbia.

What percentage of Range Rovers sold in the US do you think will ever see a muddy field or ford a stream? Current Range Rovers are designed to conquer mall parking lots.

Never driven a Tahoe or Denali, huh? These are straight up bad ass luxury trucks. I'd take one of these over a Range Rover, Mercedes or BMW any day of the week. Not to mention the towing capacity, should you need it.

I cannot relate to some people's valuation of cars. These are all so ugly. The bigger, the uglier.

I just spent that much on my child's instrument, so I'm not poor. But a car would have to be much more streamlined and elegant for me to pay such a sum.

Piano? Cello?

My prior very very very very rich boss used to complain that she cant drive a German or Japanese car. or SUV to her Hamptons mansion. In fact most of her very very wealthy neighbors all drive Chevys.

I then as why. She tells me the Chevy Suburban is only SUV that seats up to 9 passengers. She had configuration eight as two buckets in first row. Plus she needs room for luggage behind third row.

She has four kids, husband. That is six. She then brings her Nanny which is seven and sometimes if throwing a party her Cook too which is eight.

She has a cute Porsche at her beach house for her and her husband date nights. But back and forth the rich drive Chevys, also sometimes Escalades i

That’s because you are a low class. I wouldn’t say it out loud.

This is pretty cringe and fake. I’ve never seen a higher concentration of Range Rovers, G Wagon Mercedes, Bentley SUVs, and Porsche Cayenne Turbos than in the Hamptons.

There is something to having money but feeling uncomfortable about driving a new Range Rover. It is absolutely a class thing. These people buy Tahoes and Yukons because they want to fit in with all the middle class plebs they associate with.

It’s because a new Range Rover would look ridiculous parked in the driveway of an average $400K flyover country McMansion. While nobody bats an eye at a Tahoe or Yukon, no matter how many tacky options it has.

Laughing at the Range Rover drivers who think others are impressed.

It’s an expensive, overpriced American behemoth. It is not luxury.

You can’t even get one. There are 100 people waiting at our local dealer.

Well, it's not a luxury brand.

My luxury SUV was closer to $150k so the price they paid doesn't surprise me one bit.

There are plenty of multi million dollar ranches in Texas and Wyoming with GMC (and, gasp, Ford and Chevy) products in the driveways
