The 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport cuts a mean profile with its chiseled shape and tall greenhouse (the windows). The shape recalls classic Range Rovers that came along well before the Sport’s 2006 introduction, all with elegantly thin roof pillars and a purposeful presence that looked like it was ready to tackle forest trails or desert sands. Lately, however, most Land Rovers are apt to be found conquering the parking lots of upscale malls or cruising the beach boulevards of Palm Beach or Monterey. Regardless of where you see one, the 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is a nice piece of design work. There are two Sport models: the base HSE and the Supercharged.
The high degree of style continues inside where characteristically British woods, leathers, and wools (in the carpets) make for a pleasingly rich experience. However, the interior is rather snug, and inexpensive bits and pieces of trim seem to have snuck in the Range Rover Sport.
