The more i read about it the more impressed i am. I still feel land rover are making a mistake not adding a T/C but they have added terrain response which will make it relatively capable. It looks alot better to. Matt

I would certainly think about it in a couple of years as a second car :) for the family :)

The current Freelander is a lot more capable than people give it credit for even though it does'nt have low range it does have a low first and decent traction control and will go further than you would think.
Having said that i do think the new one will be quite a good car.

Oooooo.......pics of the Defender have given me a chubby. But then again any pics of a Landy gives me a chubby.:D :D

I agree - the D3 is too much for me as a second car, but a new freelander would be great. Looks very schmick.

Oooooo.......pics of the Defender have given me a chubby. But then again any pics of a Landy gives me a chubby I was almost going to chip in with "Me Too" but thought that was getting a bit "brokeback mountain" so will refrain :eek: . That said I do concur with the thought, Id almost hang onto the D3 a little longer and get the new fender..maybe depends on what SWMBO says :twisted:

P.S. Plus trade the XR6 in for the Freelander, nice looking bit of kit that

Agree with most of what you say except about 1st gear - in my view it is far too high and even has problems on normal roads on step hills - the auto covers this problem with torque slip but the clutch in the manual is just not up too the task with such a high first gear and the amount of clutch slip required - having said that the freelander is a great second car and the new one will be just as great if the pricing is right - I bet it is not.
