Just an FYI:

I checked out the '14 RRS two weeks ago at the local Rover dealership - for anything remotely resembling a custom build, the estimated wait was 6 months minimum.

I test drove a supercharged V6 "Autobiography" model - unbelievable amount of customization is available - fantastic, rich color and design options - beautiful interiors, hard core off road ability (if that's your thing, etc.) .. and a crappy Nav/screen display that a Honda Accord surpasses (mostly) .... my take away is that its even more overpriced than the X5 and for the cost of entry, the V8 should be standard.

The SC V6 moved, but nowhere near the performance of the TTV8 on the X5.

Certainly a beautiful vehicle in traditional Rover British (now Indian) tradition, but overpriced, over optioned, and certainly a "form over function" affair. This, along with Rover's historic horrible build quality issues, moved me along to the BMW.

My .02 cents
