OK Pab, what some want, but the DS is not an FL3, the trend in the industry is to make the progression larger and more practical, until it becomes so large as to be impractical  my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
2012 HSE SD4 In Orkney Grey now gone, best car ever.

I'm a supporter of the DS. But I don't have rose tinted specs, I've had 3 Fl2s so I do see the Limitations the DS has. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

I just cannot believe all the heartache and hand wringing! What with climate change (?); The economy; The world's "religious" woes; and the inevitable price of sliced bread, there are more important things to worry about!

All in the best possible taste, of course!

No heartache or hand wringing here - just informed debate and comment!

Guys... DS will be a fine motor just like the FL2 ...DS is the replacement FL2 whether we all like it or not, it was always going to be divisive, but LR have to move on...they have to compete with Audi/BMW etc...

I am very afraid that, if you think DS is too radical for a Landrover wait 'til you see D5 and the explosion that's gonna cause over on D3/D4 forum...

I agree with that, the D5 will be one heck of a storm, DG will have his work cut out then

That will be nothing compared to the next Defender.  21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

No No No....believe me D5 is going to cause a storm ....Everyone expects Defo to be what it will be radical but refined...D5 is out of this world

Tell us more. The Discovery forum is awaiting

Due to pending DS arrival, I'm now splitting my Land Rover-based internet forum time between a DS forum (one that j77 uses) and this one...  Now:

As LR are indisputably best in class for most folk looking for real & luxury 4x4s, it seems rather odd to be mirroring Audi & BMW, neither of which many of us would consider.

As for the argument that LR have to entice new customers, so current customer tastes largely irrelevant, that is just perverse. Its much easier to retain a current LR customer than acquire new ones. It would therefore seem reckless to focus solely on new punters!  Life is not a dress rehearsal!
