New L405 - AND Discovery no more???

**harlie** · 16th June 2011, 09:00 AM

I think I need to start saving…
New Range Rover – L405 is 400-450kg lighter with a Bentley standard of interior finish. Upgrades to off road abilities.

Biggest thing I read last night, several sites are reporting that the Discovery Line will cease – replaced by a 7 seat RRS - and the new RRS will be based on the all alloy-monocoque L405. I know that the RRS is their highest selling model but that’s going to upset a few.

Remember that in the future Range Rovers will not be marketed as a Landrover product and will simply be RR. Landrover marketed products will be Defender, Freelander and I believe Discovery. So while the Discovery will not be in the RR lineup ie no RR Discovery - I suspect it will be in the Landrover lineup.

Plus these type of articles are notoriously wrong in what they believe what will happen vs what actually happens.
