The first Range Rover SUV off the production line in 1970 sold for $213,000 in September 2014- more than twice the price of a new model! So sorry! In Japan, you can hire an agency whose employees make personal apologies on your behalf. There are special lanes on the sidewalk in Chongqun, China, for people looking at their smart phones while walking along, so they don't get in other people's way!

Anyone who knows anything about Rover vehicles knows that they have a less than sterling reputation for quality. ( One of my supervisors at work has one. )Which is especially baffling when you consider that they’re supposed to be off-road vehicles. I mean…the LAST ride you want breaking down on you is one that’s gonna go belly up in the middle of the back of beyond.

That’s why you never see one off-road unless it’s in a commercial. That way they have a whole crew to help them and even Toyota 4×4s to help pull them to the flatbed that will take them to the garage….

Why would anyone want the first of anything off an assembly line? Wait a month or so until the bugs that pop up are dealt with!
