Anyone notice the video of the 'transparent bonnet' concept using an augmented reality heads up display and external cameras? Looks very cool. Frankly it's about time manufacturers started putting instrumentation on the windscreen. The technology has been around for decades, but this augmented reality stuff is interesting.

Land Rover did drop the "Freelander" name in America, Canada, Mexico, And the Middle east back in 2007. Since they only offered the Freelander 1 with the "Quirky" K series V6 (Gas/Petrol) engine in those countries their reputation was even worse than in the UK where buyers had more engine choices. The Freelander 2 became the LR2 and reliability is now better than average. They also dropped the "Discovery" name as well in 2005 for LR3 and LR4.

I have noticed that one or two guys have a DS on order , stupid question , how does that work ? What happens after the big reveal , you don't like the car , colours, interior or you just can afford the spec you thought you could ? Do you lose your deposit ? |

I somewhat doubt many ppl have actually ordered a car that has not been seen or tried yet (as a production model). More likely is that they are on an (interested in DS purchase list) held by all franchised dealers and subsequently LR. That requires a deposit to be paid in advance (£hundreds).

With all the mechanical similarity, Discovery Sport linked here is good. I will need a change in Jan 16 so plenty of time to sort out the bugs. Parked next 2 disguised Disco Sports at a Kenilworth hotel so looking good. Gone... 2013 XS TD4 Manual Firenze Red

That's cheap Truffs; down south it would probably be a lot more! I suspect the dealer sets a price they believe will work with their customers; after all its an interest free loan to their business, must be good for their cash-flow too! Life is not a dress rehearsal! |

As said above, you can add your name to a list at your dealer, which will give someone an early order. But as the order banks are not open yet, an official order cannot be placed as there is no model or price list yet. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

Was treated to a LRE in a RRS this morning at Peckforton and the instructor said that there is to be an internet "reveal" of the DS tonight roundabout midnight and that the vehicle will appear at the Paris Motor Show. |
