Looked at the RRS but up
In Edinburgh they are one of the most common cars on the road. Like the RS6 as I can go weeks without seeing another 1.

Thanks, I wanted something i bit different from the default Black/Grey they all seem to be in.

To be fair there isn't an SUV on sale today that isn't a bit vulgar and/or ostentatious.

I reckon an iron would make a good mouse.

Trio of F1, F1 LM and F1 long tail is hard to beat!

I'll concede that the F-pace is the best looking SUV in it's class size, but it still looks a bit like a hatchback that's been through the photocopier scaler at the wrong ratio, and that IMO is not good. If Jag had gone for the next size up I think it would have been better, but as it stands it's gone for Q5/Evoque/Discosport/Tiguan sized (not the RRS/Q7/Cayenne size territory), which is a tough nut to crack.

I had a good look/drive with a S and I couldn't find one reason why I would buy one over a Macan, apart from the subjective looks. Residually they are worse, spec wise they are worse and interior quality wise they are worse.

If you really want a bus, then a MB GLS 63 AMG would certainly be big enough!

One problem is the 3 kids in the back! Ages 5,3&2. Non stop fighting ImageImageImage

Got an afternoon test drive with the SQ7 tomorrow. Has anyone else thought about the move or anyone had a test drive.
You're in an epic car fella. The best you've ever owned.

Why pass it up on the off chance that kids being seated a couple of inches further apart stops them fighting? I personally don't see how downgrading to a SUV will help that problem.

What's the seat arrangement? Would some entertainment in the back help? (I'm thinking screens, not a magician).
