Land Rover celebrating it’s 65th birthday with a series of retro print ads #greatmindsthingalike

I must have been on to something with my retro Photoshop advertisements from last month. On April 5th, Land Rover USA posted the first of five retro advertisements – they’re so good. Today they posted the second one. Both can be seen below.

I really need to get a staff of graphic artists on board here!

Really great work Land Rover, keep it up!

Have to throw mine in here too, haha!

2012 Range Rover Sport Brochure–we finally see the new rear design… #rangerover

Trying to see the new rear design of the 2012 Range Rover Sport has been like pulling teeth. No official shots that I’ve been able to find and even going through this brochure, there’s not one full shot of the new design which now has some added horizontal trim. We didn’t know how the new powered tailgate would affect the look, and we’re still not completely sure, ha!

Here is the 2012 shot below and below that, I’m including the exact same shot from the 2011 brochure, got to love that Photoshop. I’m not sure where they moved the button to, I’m assuming it’s probably above the license plate like on a real Range Rover, we’ll see. Or was that button only for opening the glass section? Also, the Sport badge has moved to the opposite side.

I like it!!

Here’s another shot with the new key and interior controls for the new power tailgate. Not sure how much you can believe the picture because again it’s just a manipulated shot from last years brochure.

Finally, here’s another shot of the 8” RSE screen, just like in the Discovery 4. 2012-rrs-rse

First Range Rover Evoque Print Ad, or at least the first one I’ve seen in the U.S.… #rangerover

I just have to add in one of my rants here – what’s the deal with the branding? It seems they’ve been on a mission to separate Land Rover & Range Rover. In print, signage & web presence, we usually see these logos side by side; and their own official media site, actually separates the content by brand.

As seen in the latest 2011 Range Rover advertisements which while still using the landroverusa.com web address, have no Land Rover badge or mention.

It just seems they want to get the two brands so far apart but then this Evoque ad comes out and confuses us more. Was it just an oversight? And if they are going to separate the brands, they better start talking to the car magazines which still reference the Evoque as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, which has always been a Range Rover issue…

Thank you.
