New Disco 5 - thoughts?
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/land-rover/di...ll-details

It looks like a Disco Sport. No, wait, an Evoque. Sorry, my mistake, a RRS. Silly old me, I was meant to say a full-fat RR... Shocked Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

I'm sure it'll be fantastic. Until the warranty runs out.

Not for me.

In fact, the more 'tech' cars get, the more I'm not interested.

Nice "car", but not a direction that would make me want to buy one (as a current D4 owner).

The price rises are getting too much for me...great for JLR though as I'm sure they will sell well.

cheers

Not a fan of the looks! Evil or Very Mad what's with the rounding every model off I like a few angles on a car hence why I love the defender.

I'm Sure it will be lovely to drive and do everything very well.


Figures even from a 2.0 are good? (if true)

2.0-litre model will have 237bhp and 500Nm of torque - enough for a 0-60mph time of 8.0 seconds - but return 43.5mpg and 171g/km of CO2 emissions.



They are all starting to look the same though...and realistically a car such as this would have leather so your looking SE as a base model and that's just shy of £50,000 before any options ticked. Does make you smile the extras from an S to SE includes, sat nav, leather and parking sensors.... Its a £50k car and these should be std !!


I do think the prices are rising too much, I guess we will see a lot due to business lease deals.


High spec models at £62k to £68K plus options.... for a Disco.... That's mad. I would never look at that thinking wow that looks £70K's worth of car?



Have to say if I was in the market to lose around £8k a year I would rather lose it in a Full Fat TDsv8 autobiography Smile second hand yes, but with a 2 yr LR warranty,

I don't mind the looks, I'm sure it will sell well as all JLR stuff does these days. The costs are getting out of my range for a new car though, my last D3 at 2 years old cost me £23K and I still like the boxy shape.

Sad getting to silly money with optional extra's that should be standard at that price point for my money. Not an owner... yet!

Didn't particularly like the look of it, although I have absolutely no doubt that it will drive well.
As far as looks are concerned, I hope that the new Defender does not go down that track.

It's got a corporate design which is to be expected these days. But it's bland compared to a FFRR.

Looks ungainly from some angles (could be colour/art rendition)

I'd rather have the Volvo, Bmw or Audi .. if LR want to charge big boy money for a disco, they will have to start designing and building them far better ..
