Default Range rover convertible, oh my goodness

http://www.landrover.co.uk/vehicles/...ble/index.html

I'm sure that those with £6k to spend in a watch will also spend £51k on this monstrosity

Saw one in the flesh today and it's absolutely terrible, think top gear convertible people carrier and you get the idea

In fact, I'm pretty sure that's where they got their idea from in the first place

you only have to look at land rovers history to see they have always done open tops, to me it defeats the object of a safe 4x4, but no doubt the chelsea tractor of new will sell well in west london and the shires

No roll protection - wouldn't want to be in the back when it tipped over.

It to me like someone has just attacked it with a grinder and just chopped the roof off.

Honestly wtf? I've seen it all now and sure I will see plenty on the road soon. That will be cars I'm avoiding as the drivers eyes obviously don't work

will either have very reinforced a pillars and boot lid so it cant crush down, idea being line projected between screen top and rear will be above peoples heads.

Or it might have those pop up roll bars as on some convertibles.

And she (being female) is the likely target audience. blokes with common sense or who know something about cars arent the target audience for the car. its "kept wives" with a fashion obsession and fake tans who will be the prime mongtards seen driving them around.
