full fat range rover = FFRR

 

Good question! I had already read it to mean FULL FRAME RANGE ROVER, no?

 

Isn't a Full Fat Range Rover also called a FLRR or Full Loaded Range Rover?

 

Is there then a SSRR, Smal Size Range Rover? :lol:

Yep, the Range Rover Sport

 

Oh no, not again...

Range rover doesn't have a frame its a unibody.

 

This topic seems to come up quite often..... cant we just go RR for Range Rover and RRS for Range Rover Sport?

Exactly, I don't know why there is any reason to abreviate Range Rover as anything other than RR. It is the Range Rover, what is the clarification for? Can someone explain it?

I do admit I am guilty of using RRSC for the Range Rover Supercharged.

 

RR = Range Rover
RRsc = Range Rover supercharged
RRS = Range Rover Sport
RRSsc= Range Rover Sport supercharged

 

I agree fully. Unfortunately FFRR (Full Fledged Range Rover ) is known in the "slang" community (Full Fat Range Rover) and is sadly sticking. I think it is just sick... and not "sick". :roll: Fortunately there are enough folks around that at least use the more correct "MarkIII". I shutter at what the "urban" dictionary will have listed for the next model!

 

I always refer to it as an "mkIII",
and a Sport as "not a real Range Rover".

The RRS has more in common with the original Range Rover than the MkIII.

Well I don't have Adaptive Cruise Control or Dynamic Response on my '81 RRC?

Sorry, had to say that - but what angle are you going for here - the size/shape or pedigree, etc...?

I don't have a problem with the RRS, but sometimes people leave that "S" off the end.

 

putting anything before RR is redundant. There is only one Range Rover. Thus RR is sufficient.

The other vehicle is a Range Rover Sport. Thus RRS is sufficient.

 

To me:

RR=Range Rover
RRS-Range Rover Sport

No need for the FF part.

 

I think they should of just called the Range Rover Sport the LRS - Land Rover Sport, then people wouldnt get confused with "RANGE ROVER"

 

I agree, there is so much brand confusion now because of this silly naming. However, that naming was a key to their success in selling that car.

 

The worst part about the confusion is when somebody that is unfamilar with the LR product line thinks that the Range Rover Sport is the "NEW" RR, and you drive up with a markIII and they go OH you got the old Range Rover

Although my quest was seriously, this is a good one.

 

Are there any other abreviations to share ?
As ODB and AES and so one; next one is perhaps for the general chatter but why are BMW ( Bayerisches Motor Werke or Bavarian Engine Factory) called Bimmers in the USA?
