That's strange.
I was at a JLR plant the other day and saw one of these. Thought at first it was a special Defender but then noticed the badging.
In for assessment?Discovery TDV6 S Silver
BMW Z3 Blue
MGB GT Red
Aston DB6 Blue
When it's good it's very good, but when it's broken I want my money back.
If you really want to see what the 4x4 manufacturers are coming out with, hang around the top entrance to Bovington ATDU. Granted, it will be matt black or green and covered in bits that will make it all but unrecognisable, but pretty much everything goes there for evaluation
LR were there last week with some 2011MY FFRR mules, getting in plenty of four-wheel drifts at 80mph on the tank training grounds. Went through 4 sets of tyres per car in 2 days of testing I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
Ok, own up. Who's responsbile for this? D3 grill and lights. FFRR alloys with MTRs. Come on, it has to be one of you lot...... I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

They decided not to go with the low rider + supercharger then
I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Spiritual predecessor to the RRS. Impractical, not as good as the real thing off road and drinks fuel.
Fun though.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

i agree with the general sentiment here , think LR have coped out on the D4; I seem to remeber when the D3 came out lots of design references were made to high end climbing and ski-ing equipment which was utilitarian in look but of premium quality. what do we have this time ..........wood .
for me the discovery 4 looks like a step backwards towards the discovery 2 ES's.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I agree with Neal P. I wish that the D4 stays LAND & not BMW et alles
all the cup bottle holders
Larger back door to allow entry of a Eu pallet, mod's to the side plastic's for wider load space - Land Rover with that you would sell more unitsYes - a posh van utility - thats the LAND Disco
if I wished for a car I would buy one (and so would all of us)
