I love it. I think I like it even more than the Discovery Sport. I assume this is bigger than that?

Looks like it gives up a lot of the utility of the LR4, which is the best product in their lineup IMO.

I love the look and I'm impressed with the capability, but have Land Rover learned to make a vehicle that doesn't require you to keep AAA on speed dial?

I'll admit, I've always wanted a classic Landie but, after watching Doug DeMuro's Range Rover shit the bed with alarming regularity, methinks I contend myself with admiring them from afar.

Ford and Land Rover parted ways in 2008.  JLR have slowly been purging itself of Ford technology ever since.

Looks better with the Dynamic Design package.




The base model with 3.0L SC V6 starts at under $50k, but I doubt it has the luxuries Raza's ass requires.

That is easily one of the stupidest photochop jobs I've ever seen.




This is an incredibly 'meh' car. It really does look like a Chinese knock-off of a Ford Explorer, which in and of itself is a very plebeian vehicle. JLR is losing the plot if this is the wave of the future.

:lol:

It's probably far bigger that I would want or need, really.  I have no need for 7 usable seats.

Just did a build.  3.0L SE with a power moonroof, cold weather, tech pack (navi and overhead parking assist), powered inner tailgate (not even sure what this does, but I think I want it), and second row charging station is $54,265.  That's not bad at all.  Although, a lot of that is included in the $56K HSE.  Probably easier to get one of those. 

By the way, how the fuck is it acceptable that car companies STILL charge around $700 for paint that isn't white or black?  For fuck's sake, it's a $50,000 car.

You can flip the rear seat headrests down with an app on your phone?  Now that is like...the epitome of gimmicky...and laziness.  :lol:

Also the perfect thing to put into a car that already has a sketchy reputation for electrical gremlins.

I don't know what the size difference is, but the SE and HSE trims can be optioned with no third row

I've been looking at that but there doesn't seem to be any storage or any kind of advantage to not selecting the seats.

...Ideally I want the drivetrain the the Disco in the form factor of the F-Pace...
