I always take the press reports with a bag of salt & grit especially at this time of year.

Profit's wise though it makes sense to sell a 7str Freelander derivative as a RR Grand evoque than a FL3, in fact they must be aware there is a ready market for it. In fact it may sound the death-nell for the Freelander name in the longer term given the way the Defender concepts seem to be being publicised.
