    New stuff from LR in the future.

    I heard from a little birdy today that:

    A: TDV6 is being stretched from 2.7 litres to 3 litres (I already knew this).

    B: TDV8 is being stretched from 3.6 litres to 4 litres (should be very grunty! ).

    C: There is a new long wheel base 7 seat Freelander coming.

    D: There is a 3 door Freelander platformed mini Range Rover coming - a sporty model (I think there are pics of a concept car somewhere).

    E: In 2012 the Defender body will be widened by around 6 inches and Disco II type axles slung underneath (wider track). That should help address some of the concerns regarding interior space.

    What do you think of that??

    Thats interesting that. It brings it all back to LR's theory that 500cc is an ideal cylinder size.
    Cheers

    yeah but you missed one; Land Rover is going to open more dealerships nation wide.

    Ooops sorry that was wishful thinking on my behalf. But what is real sounds good.

    But is any of it real ?

    A TDV6 (or even better 8) wider Defender with an Auto gearbox - that would sell like hot cakes on a cold day !
