Freelander 3 "Name"

So, Vauxhall’s new Fiat 500 rival will be called the “Adam”. It joins the illustrious list of cars with people’s names – what would the new FL3 suit?

Should have left the FFRR as it was, instead of the lardy leviathan RRS lumbering along, you could call the RRS, Bella, as in Bella Emberg Laughing

Boring, perhaps, but "David," since (at least here in the U.S.) it's a "small" SUV that can beat the big Goliaths. Very Happy

On a serious note, it will be interesting to see what they call it here, since "LR3" has already been used by the previous Disco. CAR HISTORY

I reckon they'll completely rebrand i think it will be called aventurer or something like that Whistle When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

Adventurer or aventurer will be too hard for the workers to pronounce, trying saying it in a scouse accent, it would slow production down.
Sorry "Maddog" if your reading this, no offence meant Thumbs Up

Evolve may be an option?

"Evolve" or "Adventurer" will be too "snobby," however. They need the folks like me -- humble Americans who would otherwise buy Jeeps -- but want luxury interiors (and appreciate their European roots Mr. Green ) to buy the FL3!

Then again, I might keep my LR2/FL2 'til 200K and buy an Audi/VW 2-seater cabrio, or something. I have a feeling I'll keep my Freely for a very, very long time. I want to be able to drive my FL2 through the woods and intense terrain without the hesitation of chipping paint, denting, etc. I've already taken it through a U.S. State Park to observe fish spawning under a special media permit (I'm a newspaper editor by trade)! LOVE my FL2/LR2! Thumbs Up

Very Happy

Here's where most of my U.S. LR2/FL2 off-roading will be done. Very Happy
