I've mentioned before that in Spring 1994, the local dealer had 3x NAS110s in the used lineup - right when the 90 was introduced. They were priced at $27,990... the same price as a stripper 90 (recall, they were $39,990 new). My belief has always been that Range Rover owners went from a RRC (SWB) to an NAS110, then very quickly back to a RRC (likely LWB) because the LT77 was a bit of a bear. A $12k + hit (after all, the dealer had to make some money in the transaction) after 6 months of ownership suggests discontentment.
I was living in Southern California when the D90 came to America. Experienced much the same phenomenon. For a while every other oceanfront home's driveway in Malibu had a D90 in it. 6 months to a year later, they were all gone, when the 'it looks cool' wore off and the reality that it was a tractor that was street legal became the reality. I bought my D90 (used) in '97 for less than the msrp of a new one..
