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...  Monsieur Le Grenadier

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 simon |

Not a fan of the looks!
 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  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.

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. Pickles. |

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

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 ..
