Don't get us wrong, we're always interested to see what independent companies can do to customize production vehicles, but this one is just plain insane. And not the good sort of insane, like the Wald Black Bison products or the billion-horsepower Brabus creations.

British company Overfinch starts with a Land Rover Range Rover, and adds the usual touches like new wheels, a different front fascia, upgraded interior materials, etc., but that's where the normalcy ends. Turn your attention to the rear, hand-crafted cabinet filled with crystal glasses and alcohol. And if that's not enough, British gunmaker Holland & Holland chimes in with a set of shotguns, too.

And what's more remarkable? Overfinch will restock your bar-on-wheels for one year. That means your supply of Pol Roger champagne, Hendrick's single batch gin, Balvenie malt whiskey, Ivan The Terrible vodka, and spring water will always be on hand for 365 days of drunken, gun-shooting fun. The cost? $196,000. Click the link below for all of the details.

After spying the first test mules of the car just last week, Land Rover announced this morning that it is indeed working on a production version of its LRX concept car. The three-door vehicle pictured here will debut next year, and join the Range Rover line in 2011.

Land Rover calls the upcoming LRX the, “Smallest, lightest and most efficient vehicle the company has ever produced.”

We’re happy to see that the coupe-like, striking silhouette from the concept car has made the transition to the production model, in what would appear to be an attractive, aggressive, and premium small offering from the company. Further details about the car will be released sometime next year—stay tuned.

Land Rover is moving forward with the production version of its very sexy LRX concept, though the small SUV may be headed in a very different direction than the concept would indicate.

The test mule seen here is most certainly based on the Land Rover LR2, which could indicate that Land Rover is backing off the three-door, coupe-like concept that the LRX was first proposed to be. We can see that this tester has been shortened, perhaps giving a flicker of hope to those waiting for the LR coupe. Be it three- or five-doors, expect that the new vehicle will at least share a profile much closer to the sleek LRX, as even this mule has had its rea end reshaped considerably.

PROS
- Unique styling with a good mix of old-world and new-world influences.
- Serious off-road prowess with time-tested trail blazing technology.
- Interior is comfortable and elegant.

CONS
- Fuel economy is worst in the Land Rover line.
- V-8 engine is powerful enough for around-town cruising, but can feel bulky and sluggish on the highway.
- Center stack is button-heavy and somewhat confusing.

SUMMARY
The LR3 is in its final year of production -- set to be replaced by the all-new LR4 for 2010. Replacing the original Land Rover Discovery, the LR3 fills this automaker's need for a seven-passenger, on- and off-road utility vehicle at a more reasonable price point than the Range Rover. The LR3 has style, grace, and a lot of old-world British charm, while still having the most up-to-date technological features and functions. A true competitor to the Mercedes-Benz ML, BMW X5, and Volvo XC90, the LR3 will not disappoint.

Land Rover, along with two other vehicles, is also showing the 2010 Range Rover Sport at the New York Auto Show. It gets the same naturally aspirated and turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 engines as the standard Range Rover.

The Sport has some exterior design changes, the grille for instance, to make it look sportier. It also features paddle shifters on the turbocharged version.

The Range Rover Sport is a vehicle that can go anywhere, do anything, and look trendy in the process. No, it’s not going to win any awards in within the Green crowd, but for the consumers who actually pay out for one of these (especially in Supercharged trim), it won’t matter. In our week with the Range Rover Sport, we found it to have more than ample performance, relatively good handling (for an SUV), and a pretty luxurious interior.
