New England Motor Press Association Presents 2008 Winter Vehicle Award to Range Rover Sport
Members of the New England Motor Press
Association (NEMPA) last night presented Land Rover North America with
a Winter Vehicle Award in the Ultra Luxury SUV segment for the 2008
Land Rover Range Rover Sport.
NEMPA voted in early February for
their favorite vehicles at the annual Winter Vehicle Voting Day.
Journalists spent time in a crowded parking lot, driving winter-savvy
vehicles to evaluate winter merits of each contestant. The main
criteria for every vehicle entered was that they should have power to
all four wheels. The 2008 Range Rover Sport won in the Ultra Luxury SUV
segment for its value within the segment and unstoppable ability in the
snow.
“We are pleased to be awarded as the winter vehicle of
choice in such a competitive segment,” said Chris Marchand, executive
vice president, marketing and sales, Land Rover North America. “It's
especially gratifying that the Range Rover Sport, a vehicle known more
for its on-road performance and touring strengths, has taken honors as
an SUV with exceptional winter driving attributes. It is a true Land
Rover.”
2008 Range Rover Sport
Building
on Britain’s distinguished history of sporting cars and surefooted
off-roaders, the Range Rover Sport is the SUV engineered for anyone
serious about expeditious driving. Muscular V8 power, a tidy wheelbase,
a low build, and a wide stance yield exemplary agility and tenacious
road holding. Equipped with Land Rover's exclusive Terrain Response™
system and the available Dynamic Response suspension system (standard
on S/C), the Range Rover Sport is the SUV of choice for those who enjoy
fast, long-distance touring.
