Some more interesting stuff leaking regarding sept online.

Just realized Slovakia is a 90, maybe im mistaken with the C pillar.

I can't really make sense of what's going on inside, might be just front seat but doesn't look right.

Basing this on nothing but the icons on the buttons and the otherwise absent controls for TR and fan speed.

Sort of like the Velar where the dials are multi purpose.

Well, I was reserving judgement until I saw the finished article. Now I more or less have and I have to say, congratulations Land Rover; you've taken 71 years of heritage and wiped your backside with it.

Why on Earth would you go to all the trouble of replicating features like the flat rear end, the roof shape, the alpine windows, the curved shoulder line and the headlight signature to then put a bulbous, generic-looking bonnet and wings on it and a bizarre grille that bears no relationship to anything that has gone before? Thst's to say nothing of the fussy bumper treatment, perimeter cladding, blackout strips across the pillars and a set of wheels that would look more at home on a VF Commodore.

Toyota, Jeep and even Mercedes-Benz still manage to make serious-looking four wheel-drives that have a strong visual connection to their predecessors, but Land Rover have to take probably the most iconic one of all (or at least one of the two most iconic of all) and turn it into a soft-looking, overstyled caricature of what it should be.

Land Rover have completely lost the plot. They'll probably sell millions.

untill you see mcgoven actually take the cover off,,,,
