I had a RR SC (big body - not sport). I always felt like I needed a sweater tied around my neck/shoulders. Never really felt masculine. Funny the one guy said similar. The G is definitley for a different breed.

I liked the range rover when they first came out.....but in boston,MA thats all i see is range rovers everywhere on my street alone there are 4. The G55 is more manly and is one of the most rare automobiles in the world and are handbuilt......and its funny everytime im in the G55 range rover drivers always give you dirty looks and try to race me.

i can not believe that anyone would compare a RR Sport (essentially a disco with a mini-range rover body/shell and uprated engine) to a G55 AMG!

yeah i can see comparing the range rover supercharged and the g55 because there almost in the same price range but not the range rover sport.....that should be compared to something like the ML63

sorry....NO comparison......this is a hand-built truck from factory in Graz. this thing is built "old school" solid......G55 can even take on Porsche cayenne turbo (straight line-normal driving) but if u had to corner different story.
But not comparison to a Landrover discovry that is superchrged......
depending on tires G55 would kill them off-road
