Actually I've made very little speculation either way...Quote:

Either way - we have an artist impression and thats it...
It has the new signature front, a better (if the render is anything to go by) departure angle, and looks mildly higher under the guts in the spy shots.
Until I see one in the flesh I cant judge if it is suitable or otherwise...
Just out of coincidence, I pulled up at the local Ford dealer and had a look at the new Everest they have on display out the front yesterday. It was the mid-spec "Trend" model, with a drive-away price of just under $70K.Quote:

While I was there, a bloke pulled up behind me in a Nissan Patrol ute and saw me looking at the Ford (the local Ford dealer is also the Nissan dealer). His first comment to me was - "you're not thinking of trading the Landie in on THAT, are you ?" I told him that I was only looking at it out of curiosity.
Parked next to the Everest on the lot was a Territory Ghia TdV6 diesel - a much better looking and better finished vehicle than the Everest any day of the week in my opinion. ;)
As for the new Disco 5 - I don't mind the look of it at all (though I prefer the more square "boxy" shape of the D3/D4 - and I'm a fan of the split tail gate). I was reading an article yesterday which claims that the Disco 5 will have better off-road ability and more interior room than the D4 - so I think some people are basing their views purely on personal opinion and lack of facts. Better to wait until it is released to see what it will really be like. ;)
Remember Brian people will always criticise what they don't understand.This argument about the D5 and Defender replacement and the ''softening'' of LR vehicles in general has now been in about 5 threads,all with the same people wanting basic vehicles you can fix out in the bush, :confused: I prefer the 6 P's approach myself eliminating the problem in the first place and the same people telling them why LR can no longer make them that way.
