Thread: Discovery Sport not worthy of Land Rover name

Subaru's are great cars however they are no where near as capable as a Freelander. I tried to take my Outback up a track that was a little interesting, it didn't take long to cross axle it and then it wouldn't go anywhere.
I've seen some of the places that a Freelander can go and some of the 4WD utes in standard trim have difficulty doing the same terrain.

Is this because you can't rivet things onto the side of it and have it still look 'acceptable'?
Is Mr Landy another panel gap fetishist?

What a load of dribbling rot.

Whilst I disagree with it getting the Discovery name, it's a direct replacement for the Freelander (shares most of its underneath parts with the FL2 and Ewok), which was perfectly deserving of the LR name...

It's a different product line to the rugged Land Rovers, and if the soft ones didn't exist, how many decades ago do you think the hard ones would have disappeared?

He He, nah each to their own brother. I'm just a provocative, no pretender 4WD guy tired of the luxury urban-centric trajectory that Land Rover is taking with every vehicle, at the expense of serious heavy duty working 4WD's. This indirectly also means less and less service support outside the cities, for what are becoming more and more high-tech vehicles supposedly designed for the bush.
