The Range Rover is set high off the ground in order to enable the occupants to see over the proletarians plodding along in the traffic in front. Land Rover Corporation’s marketing department has it that "the command driving position elevates the driver and passengers above traffic for confidence and ease of transit through traffic." That’s what I said. Driving the Range Rover, I really felt, you know… elevated.
Nor is Range Rover intended for electronic simpletons like myself. It puts all manner of (sometimes optional) gadgetry at your disposal including a GPS-based Navigation system, a DVD entertainment system for rear seat passengers with video screens built into the front seatbacks and a truly wondrous Harmon/Kardon sound system. Just be prepared to spend some hard times with your Owner’s Manual if you plan on making optimal use of any of this stuff.
