My opinion is clearly different to many. That's cool. I'm not trying to convince you guys of anything. I just think the new Land Rover design direction is boring. Enjoy the D5 fellas.

Defender dual cab ute, now you're starting to talk sense MrLandy

Thou does protest too much...For someone with a claimed lack of interest your voyeurism indicates otherwise...

Perhaps you need to.....


Many out there can't tell a Defender from a Jeep, Certainly can't identify a S1 from a County.. wouldn't know a S3 from a Puma...

But they can all point out a Range Rover....

I doubt anyone will get change from $80k for a base Discovery, so I'm not sure the difference in price would be enough to put the RRS out of the picture completely. I'm just trying to figure out what the differentiating factor is - now that the lines between Disco and RR are blurring.

Whatever you need to tell yourself to help you move on. Breakups are tough

And I'm confused now since when does the RR Carry 7 is there two extra seats I don't know about ❓

Third row seating is optional.

Once you see the vehicle all will be revealed.

As I have said,vehicle size to start with,the rest you will have to wait and see.

The Disco always has been,and always will be,quite a bit larger than a RRS.


One thing though,they are saying it won't be for sale here until late first quarter next year.

Ha ha ha to the divorce

I wasn't aware that third row seating was available, there you go, you learn something new everyday .

In saying that, a third row in a RR would not be practical at all, there is barely space without seats in the cargo area

The RRS is both longer and wider than a D4 (albeit by small margins) and has a longer wheelbase and track as well. The D4 has more space inside due to its additional height and boxy design, but that shape has been abandoned for a sleeker profile as we can clearly see from the images released so far. I can't see it being much different at all from the RRS in terms of practicality and size, hence my question.

If price is the main differentiating factor, maybe we'll see Land Rover adopt a more aggressive strategy to really move units and compete with the likes of the Prado?

All will be revealed, I guess

Hmm,similar dimensions latest model,model before was slightly smaller.

I should have said internal size,particularly in the rear.

One of the reasons we did not buy a Sport,we looked thoroughly at both vehicles.

The discovery is more a large family touring wagon than the Sport.

The reports are the D5 is larger than the D4.

If you have a good look at the side view,of a D5,you will notice it is more boxy at the rear, than a current model sport.The rear glass is more vertical.

There is a good side view in one of the vids on the JLR Aus site.

Someone sent my this pic today of a soccer mums wagon

I thought MrLandy may enjoy it
