Thread: Disco 5 spy pics...

I have had the date given to me for the new model release

They will by MY17 plated if that helps

Well I like what I've seen so far and losing half a ton can only be good thing in my book.

It may not be the most practical outback tourer but I think you'll find the new Defender will fill that role. For many of us here that will probably be a better fit in the future.

I know a lot of people would prefer it if Land Rover stuck to making 1940's farm equipment, but I think where they are heading both in terms of product development and manufacturing processes is really interesting.

Cheers,

I think it's really boring mainstreaming. Yes it does look like a 200 series!

Reckon I'll be getting my 3D printer out and building my own, now that would be interesting. Now let me see, hose-out flat floors and real clearance for a start. ...even that will set it apart from the clones.

So when was the last time you hosed out the interior of your Defender?

The Disco is just not aimed at that market. You think its boring and mainstream, I think its modern and stylish.

Unfortunately a lot of the body shape is driven by regulation, that's the world we live in. The only reason the Defender sticks out is because it hasn't been updated since the Series II was introduced. (And yes that's part of the appeal for people like you and I.)

Just as an aside, I've hosed out the interior of the Disco a few times now (unintentionally) with no adverse effect. Took some mopping up though.

Ha, good one

You shouldn't buy a Disco then!

No I won't 😉 ...problem is now they're all disco's! Or is that disco sports? Or 2018 Disco Defenders? ...I can't tell.

...Umm do they all have mirror balls inside?

Cant say Im really a fan of the new shape. I like the current Disco as its a good balance between the comfort of say a RR (but obviously not at the same level) and the function of a Defender. The way it looks like they are going is more to the upper side of the market. But as a bonus I suppose the next generation "Defender" will slot in where the Disco left off
