Compared to my 06 HSE which my wife currently drives...wow. The power is un freaking believable. Rides good too, and the electronic toys are cool. Pic is taken with my iphone so not the greatest.

It's Zermatt silver with Jet/Jet interior. My favorite for most cars. I sold my BMW 545i to drive this. Now my wife and I both have one. They aren't the most reliable cars in the world but they are comfortable as hell, most cars feel second class in comparison.

Nice! You may be surprised with the reliability of the new Rovers. I have had an 08 and a 09 HSE, both with 0 issues.

I just hope the new engine and interior doesn't set back the reliability...love the improvements though, it's like a whole other ride.

Congratulations! My next one may be an '09 or 2010 model. Ford has improved the LRs greatly, and Tata hasn't had the chance to cut corners yet. Maybe the best years of the RR. Wouldn't seem the same without the gremlins though.

Awesome and congrats.

Do you think the adaptive dampers have improved the ride quality over your other rangie?
In a straight line, not a huge improvement as my wife's '06 is very comfortable while mine feels firmer. In the turns a HUGE difference. If I had the well bolstered binding sport seats from my BMW in it, I could actually hustle around corners. As it is it's like driving a BMW with the sport package but while sitting on a comfortable leather sofa :) Overall the ride feels very much like my BMW now, firmer, more communicative, way less wallowing in the corners, not as plush on the straights though. Which is totally the way I want it.

Do you think the Vogue is a little Softer/Plusher?
