2014 Freelander 2 SD4 SE Auto Firenze Red

I was overtaken by one on the M6 today. I saw it in the mirror way back in the distance - thinks is it a RR ? nope, a RRS ? nope , an Evoque even ? nope. I realised what is was as I read the lettering on the rear. Its very nice looking on the road but all very corporate LR. At least the Disco still looks different.
It must be a fine line for manufacturers - creating a brand image and also making the cars individual. Audi and BMW definitely struggle with it. My BMW 3 looks just like a small 5 of the same age. Jules

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Baltic Blue

Parked up beside a new vehicle today and the harse end was so ugly I thought it must be a DS, but no it was actually a new Range Rover Sport! Oh dear, I didn't think they were that bad.
I am well off message with the JLR design team stylists these days........ but then I think the Disco 3 looks much better than the D4 so what do I know......

The black pack makes the DS look like a cheap, tacky drug dealer special! Ugh!

2011 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Bali Blue

Only seen the ones in the showroom, if you've got a dog that chews everthing watch out for those seat-belts in the boot (or get a cage).
On the way to Exeter did see a Range-Rover with COSWORTH on the bonnet. 11 GS Bali Blue
07 GS FL2. Usually muddy. Gone
Numerous LRs since 1963

You Fl2 boys still out number us though

@D-Man, The beige colour with beige interior is a popular option, so it must work. Much prefer the beautiful Loire blue though
