G550 2019

I bought a 2018 G550 for my wife last January and I hated driving it. At the time we placed an order for a new 2019.Last June dealer and I spec'd it up and agreed he would sell it if we decided not to proceed. Well it arrived yesterday and we looked at it today. Changing meany a huge loss on our 2018, but the 2019 looked great. Well! When we drove it I could not believe what a different vehicle. Steering was excellent, ride was excellent and the car felt great. I have owned several Range Rovers and would put level with them. We purchased immediately and love the car.

Congrats. Did both you and your wife hate driving the ‘18 or just one of you? I’m not sure why would you have gotten the ‘18 G over a Range Rover if you didn’t like how it drove. I started out shopping to get a deal on an ‘18 G, but after test driving one, I decided it wasn’t for me and ordered a ‘19.

My wife loved the look of the car and would not have another Range Rover. She did not mind driving it. I just could not get back in it after driving the 2019.

Congratulations!! It is a much more modern vehicle compared with the older one. Most don't realize that we are in perhaps the greatest phase of automotive history. We really can have our cake and eat it, too! I think the 2019 G demonstrates that perfectly.
