came across this on trawl of the web - dont know much about it, probably an artists impression, but it certainly looks the part!

looks good..... not sure about the leg room in the back or boot space .....no roof or anywhere it could go assume it would come with a LR umbrella

Looks very like an LR version of the 3 door Toyota RAV4 (now no longer available).

I wonder if it will make it to production; it's been rumoured for yrs  Life is not a dress rehearsal!

It's on the drawing board, and by the looks of it a long way further on.
The factory code is L513 - which considering the FL2 is L359, means they have been very busy in between.

Sorry to trawl this up from the deep....anyone heard any more about it? Hope it's one of the new JLR models - there's a big market for this new sized LR in the Yeti/Juke/Rav4 sector...including from me

If you look at the recent announcement about LR taking on 1000 new employees at Solihull there was mention of something like 40 new models or derivatives coming in the next few years. I believe that Halewood is about to go to, or is already doing 3 shift production and that Solihull will also be doing the same shortly in an attempt to meet the demand for current models and prepare for some of the new ones.

Halewood is currently running round the clock and on a three shift system, this is what we were told at Halewood recently.

Not sure about the baby fl but heard they were looking at a new FL3 and Evoque based on same platform in 2015 i assume with new engines from Wolverhampton

Has to be in the pipeline, especially as the FL2 can only get bigger and dearer in the end. To make money and to reduce group emissions, a 15 - 20k car is needed.

I agree, though I imagine the gap they'll aim for will be £20k- £30k in view of the very high starting cost of the comparitively small Evoque range.  Life is not a dress rehearsal!

Indeed if we get a baby it will propbably take FL2 pricing and FL2 move upwards!

A dealer I was speaking to at the weekend had heard about baby but wasn't sure if it was still on the list...he said there were so many development cars he wasn't sure which ones had got the go ahead - as we know FL2+ has been canned for time being

Seriously LR if you are listening this size of car (baby FL2) is what we're looking to buy next - even at a premium price

....or from my perspective FL3 please with the diesel/hydrid engine you've been titilating us with for years now!!

It looks ole a really bad photoshop of an fl2 an Weil and the stupid sports defender thing they recently put to public test. Either way I can't imagine anything looking like that coming out of halewood too soon Freelander 2 TD4 Auto, SE, Narvik Black, Alpaca full leather, Rear Headrest Entertainment System, 6 CD, 18 HSE Wheels, Privicy tints
