    Same thing happened with the Disco... then we got the Isuzu (Holden) Jackaroo thing, Pajero and so on.

    Land Rover are the innovators the others are pretenders.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Now come on fellas be fair.
    Land Rover pinched the 4 litre V6 from Explorer and the D3 hydroformed chassis was first used on the Explorer.
    It's just brotherly borrowing.
    Not to mention Land Rover pinching the TDV6, the 4.0 supercharged and the 4.4 from Ford owned Jaguar and what about teh Puma from a lowly transit van.
    Regards Philip A

    There was talk recently that the next Disco will have 500Kg cut out.
    I wonder if we are looking at the next D 5?

    I believe Chevy used hydroforming on its corvettes before Ford used it on its explorer
