I like the prison cell like bars on the Rozzer Spec D5.

The fact that there are bars to protect the blingy grille (but not the lower vents or foremost part of the car too) is very telling though.

They may had to have reduced the size of the centre seat to account for the electric gizmos.
Landrover would have made a good move offering the manual system with 3 full seats. Maybe the "limo pack" I just invented comes 4+2 and single auto tailgate and the "family pack" I just invented is 5+2 with a spilt tailgate MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

Check out the video. You get to see a clear image of the car. And those seats are very useful too.

I'm not surprised that we aren't going to get 3 usable rear seats. With the move from a separate chassis to fully unitary construction, it was always likely to be less spacious inside. The first casualty is likely to be internal width across the back seats (meaning a 2 + 1/2 is all that will fit), the second is much wider pillars and the third is likely to be the high centre console in the front.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄

That about sum's up where Land Rover's priorities lie (Chelsea high street), most pointless feature ever...Disco3 is now gone but not forgotten. Waiting for Disco6 with full aluminium construction weight reduction and hybrid engine...

Its not the potential for a narrow seat, the potential loss of access, increase in technology, more bullish front end and slightly poor rear end or anything else for that matter
Its not even the price increase - which is worth its own line.
Whats put me off is using Bear Grylls the biggest walking pr k there ever was to advertise it.
To associate him with anything just shows how rubbish it must be.Mike

Activity platform.
Imagine the effort it took to design the power seating, would've took less to split the tailgate.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green
