It certainly looks purposeful, I'm just not sure what that purpose is in relation to the rest of the LR range. I guess we wait and see.

The purpose is more luxury SUV market share.

😄 Are you sure it wasn't an outlander? :wasntme:

My Mrs loves the disco sport.
She also likes defenders, but thinks they're a bit dated ;)

Well I guess at the end of the day our opinions don't really matter as the sales figures do all the talking. 5 years ago in our area I hardly saw any Land Rovers, now I see heaps of Rangies. Can't remember the last newish looking Freelander I saw but have seen plenty of Disco Sports around now and I'm sure there will be plenty more when the D5 comes out. A lot of women, including my wife lol, think most cars pretty much look the same from a distance. I have no problem with the way the styling of Land Rover is going, I just hope I will be able to afford my next one!!!

Just what I always wanted in a Landrover ......

The ability to change the seat config, after I've jumped out of a plane.....

I'm sure some of the tech will be useful.

The way the disco is going I think the vast majority will now be in the market for the defender replacement after seeing that.

Bit of a tosser, isn't he? Do anything for a few pounds, I suppose.
Fold,the seats while in free fall - pity about the kids waiting in the car, watching movies on the obligatory DVD players in the headrests, getting folded in. Nasty stains on the lovely leather. How's he gonna clean that mess?

With Land Rover completely abandoning the outgoing Discovery's styling, it'll be interesting to see what happens to resale values of the current model. It'll certainly be obvious which one is the old model, and the boxy shape could look quite tired as people adjust to the new look.

Just a thought. Resale isn't everything, of course.

It's a shame they are going away from boxy shape.......they stand out in the crowd, they will blend in more and be be lost.
