City Guides: A new Range Rover model will be introduced at the Paris Motor Show 2010 this fall. Whether it is by coincidence or plan, Land Rover's third model line is coming out at the same time as the Range Rover's 40th anniversary.

Range Rover has had three generations of Range Rover: the original in 1970, the second generation in 1994 and the third in 2001. The Range Rover Sport, which was launched in 2005, is Land Rover's number-one selling vehicle.

Phil Popham, Land Rovers', managing director said, "Land Rover has a unique history of product innovation. But the Range Rover probably remains the most historically significant vehicle we have ever launched. It is one of the most important vehicles in the history of motoring."

While the new Range Rover will be smaller, lighter and more fuel-efficient, the company is promising that it will be as luxurious as ever.
