Well, I've seen some confused about the new Range rover sport, and the range rover. And the supercharged models. And I'd like to help clarify that. Since, it is indeed pretty confusing.

I'll start off by saying: The Range Rover Sport is structurally different from the Range Rover.

The Range Rover Sport is a totally new car for 2006 built off of a 2inch shortened LR3 chassis. It's exterior styling is very similar to that of the Range Rover, but is not the same. Overall, the car has a much lower and wide stance than the Range Rover.

For 2006, The Range Rover Sport is offered in 2 trims. The HSE trim ($57k) and the Supercharged trim ($70k).

For 2006, The Range Rover is offered in 2 trims. The HSE trim ($75k) and the Supercharged trim ($90k)

Range Rover Sport HSE $57k: 4.4L 300hp V8 (A la LR3 V8)
Range Rover Sport Supercharged $70k: 4.2L 390hp V8 (A la Jaguar XKR/XJR)
Range Rover HSE $75k: 4.4L 305hp V8 (A la LR3 V8)
Range Rover Supercharged $90k: 4.2L 400hp V8 (A la Jaguar XKR/XJR)

So, how do I tell them apart.
Well, theres many ways, but heres some big ones:
Side intakes/grilles:

That's how I tell a Sport from a regular RR.

Key features that tell you a Sport is a Supercharged:
Flared Side Skirts

Key features that tell you a Range Rover is a Supercharged:
Front Grille
Side intake/grille

Key features that let you tell a Range Rover from a Range Rover Sport:
Taillights.
Side intake/grille.
Orange paint.

[These aren't the only ways to tell, but they are the ones I usually use]

Hopefully this is helpful to you all!

Oh, and PS: The Range Rover Sport's interior is very different from the Range Rover's. It's like the LR3 (d'uh, it's based on it!). The Range Rover's interior is original, and has cool upscale details, like piping.

And no, the Supercharged models don't retain the Jaguar's J-gate shifter.

If someone has a shot of a Sport and a Regular RR side by side, please post it! I'd be interested to see it.

Thanks but I havent seen a Ranger Rover sport here in Boston,I've only seen the regular one....

I'm sure you have, you just haven't noticed. They are very common in the North East. Hell, when I was in PA last week, I saw more Sports than Regulars!

You just have to know what to look for.

I can tell the difference from a mile away

the difference between the HSE and supercharged not from a mile away

But still I can tell

ooh look at the pretty pictures

Ride height big give away too.

Otherwise, pretty tricky.

Only seen one newie here, ever so far.

i can tell the difference between them both pretty easily. i have seen about 6 sports here and i know they r all sports deffo!

well mosta the sports roun here have SPORT on the back....nice thread though

they're still overpriced boxes

the sport just looks bad ass yet still classy. land rovers have always been classy imo.
i use to always think about dropping an ls1 or lt1 in the older range rover pre '03 model. (pretty cheap)

It's pretty easy to tell the difference between the Sport and regular Rover

ooh look at the pretty pictures
