    All makes sense Jon, thanks. ...I guess someone will buy it, but I have no idea how you would choose between D5, Velar, RRS. But that's not a problem I'm ever likely to have!

    Seeing the Velar today in person, wow, it's a very striking car. Looks better in person than the pics. Very different to a D5 and RRS so will appeal to different people as the size is the main difference. (As well as other differences)

    More appealing than the D5 for sure. Is it a 4WD? I've no idea.

    I reckon the Velar is the best looking car inside and out in the current LR stable. Its the least 4wd oriented but is still more capable than you think.

    😂😂🤣😆🤑

    Is it a Disco Sport? A new Range Rover Sport with a different name? A mini Disco 5? Can it rove the land? I've no idea either! Hang on, is it the new Defender? 😇 It would definitely be able to carry at least 3 small bags of 🐑 poo!

    Not quite sure how Land Rover has managed to make something as good looking as the Velar, and then managed to cock up the looks of the D5. I think the D5 looks alright up to the B pillar and from there back its terrible. Will be interesting to see what the new Defender looks like when it finally arrives

    For a laugh I priced up a white D240 Velar with a tow pack, full size spare, driver aids and DAB.

    $108K!

    That's a lot of money for a small mid-range car.

    So is it officially called the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, or have they realised the error of their ways?

    It looks like a somewhat matured Evoque. Talking about the Velar or many LR products these days in reference to offroading, is like talking about a diamond ring's ability to cut glass. Its just not relevant, not optimised for the task, and surely unhealthy for its true purpose.
