Range Rover Sport because of poor emission ratings and its part in global warming. News outlets jumped on the story and spread the word about Land Rover’s failure to create vehicles that take less of a toll on the environment. Also, Greenpeace used the poor fuel economy as a reason for the protest, and with only around 14 MPG, the organization seemed to be speaking for the nation as a whole.

Originally, the Range Rover Sport was called the Range Stormer in its concept stage. Though the Stormer was far from the current Range Rover Sport, the exterior design hinted at what was to come with the Sport. Many visitors to auto shows that featured the vehicle were excited that Land Rover was going to release a contemporary model, but quickly had their hopes dashed when the Range Rover Sport made it onto sales lots.
