    Looks to be bugger all difference between the disco and the rangie, personally neither is my cup of tea bot the only differences i could quickly see are the windscreen rake and the rear side windows. check out the bonnet could be the same piece of kit.

    I think they ran out of ideas and just joined what each design team had together.

    To be fair to the designers...

    I think it was a whole bunch of idiots :!:


    Vlad's theory of design by commitee:
    If you want a screw up - get one designer.
    If you want an absolute abortion - get a whole design team.

    And added to Pedro's 2 cents worth ...

    At last now we can go shopping at Chatswood, Chadstone et al without scraping the roof entering the carpark and knocking the sprinkler heads off.

    Unless I'm missing something (and that is quite possible) the Disco will not be sold for its offroad abilities and LR pedigree (these may have been lost but who knows).

    It will be interesting how the next iteration of the Defender will be sold: Central Locking, Climate Control, Curry Hooks and Cup Holders?
