The 2015 FL2 will be the first of the LR new look for Land rover..so far we've only really seen Range Rover style...Land Rover will be something different. I feel the pasting of an Evoque front end on a FL2 has missed the point somewhat...they are two different brands. I suspect LR will remain more rugged and less camp than RR |

As already said, this mule is not an Evoque, it is nothing. Just a botched up mule to test new running gear.

with one of the replacement names being mentioned (Discovery Sport) i would think it will look like a Discovery

Looks too much like a Hyundai or Kia to me don't want to go down that design route, i thought the attraction of the LR/RR design was careful interpretation of classic style and functionality. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Powertrain and 'running gear' is usually tested under a bog standard existing body shell, so these road-going camera-camouflaged testers are never 'nothing' . The development cycle suggests FL3, and at least gives us some idea of size.

I think you might be reading too much into it. Sometimes an existing body simply doesn't fit the new running gear (e.g. if wheelbase, or overhangs are different), and then you'll see this kind of lash-up. It's too soon to see anything like the final FL3 design on the roads.

I think we are looking at 2014 before we start to see any clues as to it's design, at the moment it's just running gear being tested.

Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons and stimulate some debate, this pic seems to fit with the Disco Sport tag, it is only a rendered image and purely fictional but has a certain appeal?

Looks like an RRS and D4 mixed together. Personally, I don't see the point in a Disco Sport. People who could afford a disco, but want something sportier would go for a RRS. |

This picture tells you nothing. To put this into perspective, I saw the new Range Rover over 18 months ago and I saw the new Range Rover Sport about 10 months ago. As we know now, these mock ups looked nothing like the finished article. I can guarantee that the Freelander replacement will have no resemblance to the Evoque. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... Last edited by Mav71 on 7th May 2013 9:18 pm.

It's quite possible you may have to eventually eat your words Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice. |

I agree with Mav. The new car will be completely different from the out going model, it will share technology with the Evoque but won't share styling. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200 |
