Anyway back on topic: apparently there's a new green coming called cosac green, and somebody on RRSport was saying some colours have gone from the LR lineup on the website

ps nice rubber Ad

I am sure the pleather is a known Yorkshire get up, not sure which are its local to Looks a little Leedsish possibly Kippax but the black bits coming from the head piece are the chicken feathers  p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Wow!

Anyone just watched the BBC1 news - item on JLR with views of cars coming off the production line including a new FL2.
Front definately has new bar grill with deeper? 'mouth' and prominent badging, side has graphite coloured side vents, new 12 spoke wheels. Unfortunately picture cut away just as rear was coming into view. pity
Production will be upped to cover demand and investment in new models will follow.

Embargo ? what embargo? There's always a way forward!

2008 Freelander Td4 GS - Stornoway Grey - Now Gone - Sob
2011 Freelander Td4 GS 150 - Rimini Red - in its place - Better x far x 4!!

Dam you beat me too it D'oh Gone S383 ABA Freelander 2.0 XEDI Rioja Red
Gone NT02 CUA Freelander 2.0 TD4 ES Blue
Gone ND06 URU Freelander 2.0 TD4 Rimini Red
Gone NA56 VJN Freeelander 2.0 TD4 Black
HERE OE07 JRX Freelander 2.2 TD4 XS Rimini

If I am talking absolute b*ll*x - please excuse me. Very new to LR and FL.
But.....

To me the FL2 is designed to look like a baby Range Rover. Yes?
However, the LRX is going to be the new baby Range Rover. yes?

So.. are they moving the freelander to be more of a baby discovery in it's styling via the facelift and the FL3 ?
And will the pricing reflect that. LRX and Range Rover - premium prices.
Freelander and Discovery - not so premium prices.


I'll get my coat.

:

I've always seen the FL2 as being a part of the disco side of the family than the Range Rover side.

I can see a place for the LRX for people with plenty of money, who don't want a big car and who don't want to risk being accused of being a drug dealer or footballers WAG

Don't tell the Mrs, I sold her the "new" FL2 as a baby RRS but more suited to town driving - someone on her side of the family has a black RRS with personalised plates, and is considered to be "well to Do".
It's black leather inside (like the RRS), and the bright orange colour on the outside is a safety feature - honest

For me it's definately a small Disco, better fuel economy (just), comfortable at speed, and not afraid of getting muddy.

One things for sure, in Tangiers Orange your never going to be mistaken for a drug dealer, your never going to be mistaken full stop. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Option of 190bhp with the auto box and a drop in CO2/RFL band makes a FL2 a more attractive proposition......

More attractive than the gimp on the previous page anyway! Current driveway contents:
2021 V60 Cross Country B5
2009 FL2 dog bus and shooting wagon
