    Next generation Freelander to get Defender nameplate

    Tell me it's not true!


    Due in 2015

    A new report indicates the next generation of the Land Rover Freelander will be sold with the Defender moniker.

    In May we heard a rumor about Land Rover dropping the Freelander nameplate for the next generation and now British media reports the car will receive the Defender moniker. Internally codenamed L550, the new generation will essentially be a baby Discovery and will allegedly be shown in production guise in September 2014 at the Paris Motor Show.

    A Land Rover representative told Automotive News Europe "the Defender will go out of production by the middle of the decade due to legislative reasons" but didn't want to elaborate on the story.

    Doesn't sound like a Defender to me.
