An employed hand with a Toyota Hilux does that, the farmer is busy lording around in his EU farm subsidised FFRR |

At this point your guess is as good as ours - every time things seem to be settling down another spanner gets thrown into the works! A new Freelander (which may not be called that) is expected in 2015, but beyond that...

Thanks all ! Is this bigger Evoque, the new FL3 you are talking about ?

This is just a test mule. The new FL3 will (hopefully!) not resemble the Evoque. |

JLR have just spent millions building an engine plant here in the UK to produce there own hot fire engines which will go into the next generation of cars. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200 |

What's the point in 16 new LRs? I like that Land Rovers aren't common (well, where I live they seem to be). It's nice to have something a little different to everyone else. I think that the current range of LRs is great, all we need now is the new Discovery and Freelander. |

Same with my old Saab. Some people swore by them, but mine was a reliability horror movie. Truly spent more time in the shop than on the road. But when it worked, it was probably the best car I've ever driven (minus torque steer!). 2.0 turbo, manual, every bell and whistle, incredibly high quality leather seats... truly a dream!

And the "continual flood of legislation coming out" of Washington. Being barred from selling a major component of your fleet in one of the biggest markets in the world – and arguably THE biggest market for SUVs in the world – has to make the suits at JLR cringe.

Agree completely. I like the Disco (LR4 here) all around, especially its expanded Terrain Response, 4lo and locker (I enjoy taking my FL2 offroad), but it's just too big for me. I'm a single guy. A scaled down Disco would be perfect for me. CAR HISTORY 1997 Saab 900 SE 2.0 Turbo 2003 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T 2008 Land Rover LR2 SE 2.3 I6 |
