The Range Rover was one of those remarkable vehicles which defined a genre from the moment it was announced in 1970. No matter that it borrowed ideas from the earlier American sport-utilities, it brought to the party its own blend of sophistication and elegance. By the time the competition started to catch up, the Range Rover had secured a commanding lead and, when the second-generation model was announced in 1994, that lead grew even greater. Or did it? The articles reproduced here show that the Range Rover always had something unique to offer, but they also show that the vehicles it inspired were not by any means insipid copies. What you can read between the covers of this book is more than a simple set of comparisons. It tells the story of how the world's leading manufacturers struggled to steal sales from a vehicle which had taken the automotive market by storm and continued to cling onto its leadership. Reading the articles here provides an insight into the luxury 4x4 market in the 1980s and 1990s - and is a fascinating and thought-provoking exercise into the bargain. Judge for yourself whether a Range Rover might be the car for you by learning how it stacked up against those 4x4s which are still its rivals on the used market today.
