CFB, please bear in mind it was taken off the transporter at 9.30 this morning so has not had time for a wash etc etc
I have seen the Evoque in this colour and it is stunning so can't see why it won't be on the D4 "UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" -is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" ------------is how far you take the fence with you.

I thought the same. Thought it was a bit of a gimmick but I was definitely wrong about that. Living as I do in the country, on unlit roads it is a very useful and clever bit of kit. Once set up, the reaction times are quicker than I could do manually. Not so much an erosion of driving skills but an enhancement to driving safety in my book.
And the adaptive Xenons are just incredible too. Superb spread of crisp, white light, not like the yellowed beams I have experienced previously My17 Volvo XC90 Inscription

If it looks half as good as the Evoque does in this colour it will still be well smart.

Well picked her up from Armstrong Massey today and here are a couple of pics when I stopped at a motorway service place - it was raining when I picked her up so could not take the pics outside the dealers and she is slightly grubby due to road dirt but still looks fantastic IMHO in the Firenze Red
A big thanks to all at Armstrong Massey and especially Simon (sales mgr), Mark (workshop mgr), Hanna, Jill, & Andrew. Whilst it was Simon I have been dealing with everyone else has helped me with info over the last few weeks re the delivery, colour and spec etc etc and I can highly recommend Armstrong Massey as a great dealer to go to - and boy oh boy I should know having had some really bad dealers in the past

Looks very nice 8) Notice it has the LED DRL's fitted, did the dealer fit these for you or were they from the factory?Cheers Ian

The LED DRL's are a dealer fit option only at this time. I thought long and hard about them as they are very expensive (dealer did a deal for me so fitted they were £500 inc) but when you see them I think they look good and are very bright. Only trouble is they turn off when you put your lights on but I may have an answer to that
Will try to take a decent pic with them on now I am home to show just how bright they are.
Oh and finally the dealer said it took them about 2 hrs per side to fit and LR only allow them 1.5 for both sides but he believes they will get quicker as time goes by due to this being their first set etc."UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.

Is that Armstrong Massey as in York?
If so they must've changed, had my new D3 from them [and in the 90's a D1 serviced by them] and the dealership was absolutely appalling.
Since then, my business has been with Ripon Land Rover for the last 5 years.
Looks very nice btw, enjoy I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Looks stunning! 8) Congrats
Not sure about the drls but then it's difficult to see properly in a photo.
My CLS has them on ALL the time, even with the head lights and to be honest I didn't think they'd be a distinctive as they are. I bet yours look better than the photos! .... Which sounds like a back handed compliment when it is, in fact, merely a cackhanded one. Sorry My17 Volvo XC90 Inscription
