"The R&amp;amp;amp;T staff drives and performance-tests hundreds of new cars every year. Because we don&amp;#039;t have time to give each one the full review treatment, we share select logbook notes here, in a quick, easily digested format. Unless noted otherwise, each test car is in the office for two weeks and is driven by every member of the edit staff. Each staffer spends at least one day, but often more, in each car. Josh Condon, Senior Editor The first question about this car from my wife, who is currently experiencing her first Michigan winter since we moved here from Los Angeles, was: &amp;quot;Does this thing have heated seats?&amp;quot; Yes, this thing has heated seats. It also has acres of leather and wood, enough room to fit a small symphony, with instruments (you won&amp;#039;t need it, though, thanks to the excellent sound system), and almost uncomfortable speed from its supercharged V8. If you don&amp;#039;t understand what would make someone drop $93K or so (for the supercharged V8 model) on a massive SUV with ridiculous off-road capability that they&amp;#039;ll never use, just spend a day in one of these things. You&amp;#039;ll get it. PLUS: Everything you love about overlarge, opulent, off-road-capable luxo-barges, but more so, times infinity. The massive panoramic sunroof is a great touch. Dropped 800 lbs from the previous model. MINUS: The thing is a beast. While it has no trouble getting up to speed, and quick\u2014maneuvering around town, it feels like you&amp;#039;re driving the world&amp;#039;s most expensive panel truck. Not enough redundant switchgear; too much stuff routed through the infotainment interface.   David Gluckman, Associate Editor Wow. Rocket. Go so fast, brain not catch up with body. Feels like cross between low Range Rover and tall Jag. Maybe best use of corporate 5.0-liter V8. Favorite Jag-LR product. Composed, makes right noise, handsome. Me want. Sorry, can&amp;#039;t form full sentence. Amazed. PLUS: A new high in fast SUVs. MINUS: Same old slow infotainment deal.  Matt Tierney, Art Director  The new Range Rover Sport is absolutely gorgeous\u2014it might be the best-looking SUV ever built. It handled nine inches of snow on all-seasons like it wasn&amp;#039;t even there, and made me feel like I could drive up, over, or through anything. Highway manners were excellent, of course, and the supercharged V8 will have you insuspended license territory if you&amp;#039;re not careful\u2014it&amp;#039;s that fast and smooth.  Everything you touch feels rich, and appropriately soft or solid as the case may be. The Meridian sound system is top-notch. I have some issues with the overall user interface (which remains somewhat of a Jag/LR Achilles heel), but that&amp;#039;s nitpicking.  The only area it fell short for me this particular instance was cargo space. To be fair, most days I would happily trade cargo hold for back seat room, and inthat, the Range Rover Sport obliges.  All in all, I can&amp;#039;t think of a vehicle I&amp;#039;d rather have been in for the trip\u2014maybe the big brother Range Rover? Nah, I&amp;#039;d just pack a bit lighter. PLUS: Style and good looks. Powerful, but smooth V-8. Ridiculous capability. MINUS: Smallish cargo area. Annoying touchscreen UI. I&amp;#039;d probably want a more aggressive tire.
