Id be interested to see what a FFDisco might look like rather than a possible Sport?
(must admit - the D4 now looks a little older)

I will be waiting until the D4 replacement is at least 3 years old before considering making an order with all the tech on that thing!

Disco's are a crucial part of my business. I won't get paid if they are in the workshop having their laser headlights turned down.

I'd like to see a side profile comparison of the RRS and Disco Vision. They seem to be so similar in shape.16 D4 Landmark

Interesting comments from McGovern
Quote:
McGovern was fairly tight-lipped about the specifics of the upcoming Defenders, but he did say, “I’d be worried if lots of traditional Discovery owners looked at [the Discovery Vision concept] and said, “I love it!†Because it has moved on. It’ll be Defender, the new Defenders—and I wouldn’t take note of those concept vehicles we did a couple of years ago—that’ll show you that sense of overt ruggedness.â€
He was mum on the topic of platforms, although given the reality of modern economies of scale, we can’t imagine Land Rover having more than two of them—a small-vehicle architecture for the Discovery-branded Freelander/LR2 replacement and Evoque and a larger one for the bigger Discos and Range Rovers.
“The Defender pillar, it needs to be said to help put it in context, will be more about durability; about ruggedness. We want to make Defender very affordable. You’ll get versions that are very elemental in terms of what’s inside them, but you’ll have the ability to move it up and make it more premium, but it’ll be durable premium.†While the LR4 seemed to take the Discovery rather close to the previous Range Rover in terms of interior niceties, we’d expect a new uplevel Defender to fill that niche, but with less in the way of wilderness-drawing-room panache.

Interesting. If I can get comfortable in it, I can see me heading down the high spec. Defender replacement route, rather than the D4 replacement.

New Discovery to the line up in 2015?
I don't know if anyone else has heard this, but I was in our local Stealer this morning and the guys were telling me the LR marketing guys had recently briefed them on the new models and the new Freelander is going to be called the 'Discovery Sport'.
Also the branding going forward is going to centred on the Range Rover name badge, rather than the Land Rover name.Club Narpy Torch
