I had the pleasure* of seeing one of these 'ere new LR Disco's yesterday. Why have they made it look like the Evoque? talk about cashing in on the Evoque 'scene'
Sorry I'm duty-bound to show you its bottom:

Re: Hold on that's a Discovery. Caution: LR content
There's so many hideous looking creations masquerading as vehicles that this seems only mildly offensive.
Got a ways to go to rival the Ford Scorpion & Nissan Puke IMHO.

It fills the gap between the Aldi TT and a Bini, aimed squarely at people with no taste, style, individuality or intention of going anywhere near dirt... I'm glad it says Discovery on the boot or I wouldn't have known what it was..
Something for the weekend sir?
Its not as nice as the older models, but to be fair if I was offered one I would probably* say yes

I think thats the new land rover discovery sport, its supposed to fill the gap where the freelander once sat, its not too bad looking when seen as a replacement for the freelander.

Re: Hold on that's a Discovery. Caution: LR content
Makes you laugh when they call something so cumbersome 'Sport' the Rangey Sport is anything but that but then I guess the wannabe knobbers that drive them don't care.....being better* than everyone else on the planet that is.

Re: Hold on that's a Discovery. Caution: LR content
I saw one of those on the motorway yesterday and couldn't quite decide what it's trying to be. Looks like the evoquesque "corporate nose" is alive and well right across the range, and the back could be anything. I certainly wouldn't want to take it offroading, would inevitably end in tears

Re: Hold on that's a Discovery. Caution: LR content
My other half has recently bought a 12 plate SD4 HSE Freelander and to be honest not being a lover of the LR badge I am suitably impressed.Being the 190 bhp model it really does get up and go for something that is nearly 2000kg and it returns 35-40mpg.The Disco sport looks like a slightly inflated Evoque which I was never a fan of in the first place.
