Thoughts on the new 2015 Discovery

Any chance of a V8 diesel????
About to watch the clip;);););)

Whinge?

I think the D5(?) will be too late in coming. I have a 2011 D4 and want to upgrade to the "new" vehicle in 2015. I have to wait until 2017 maybe? That'll make the D4 era what, 8 years?

Looks like a Disco Sport in the interim...........

Some of us don't buy them until they're 8 years old, so the longer the model cycle the better, we look current for a year or two then :D

I must also admit, it's growing on me.....love some of features, cringe at others (but maybe time will convince me that those doors and tailgate will all be fine)...any way a few more years to wait.

looks like the love child of a match between an fj cruiser and an evogue

a bitch to fit extras to... maybe that explains the aftermarket accessories "mood" change...

It will be interesting to see the new Defender, chances are if I like it then I bet the current diehard Fender brigade will hate it. That on its own will gives me some sort of perverse pleasure. ... ;)

I'm betting the TDV6 2.7 (or 3.0 if dropped from discovery range) with 6 speed auto will find its way into the new defender.
