For me, I would be interested in a 5 seater but the 7 seater being pitched is beyond my needs. Am I reading now that there's no 5 seater, only 7 seater? Hope not...

For me it would depend on the overall size of the car, the current FL2 my ideal size. If the 5+2 is considerably longer than the current FL2 it would probably be more that I need. If they then do a 5 seater version would it be the 5+2 without the extra seats or a shorter car? GONE - '07 TD4 GS manual Zermatt Silver

PS: I should have mentioned that the Autocar article suggests the row 3 seats will be removable ... |

What Car? says "It will come with a third row of seats as standard, with a 2+3+2 layout. Even with this third row of seats, Land Rover claims that the Discovery Sport will have a smaller on-road footprint than most five-seat rivals. A five-seat version is also expected to be offered."

Good point, maybe the base model will have 5 seats and the third row of seats are on the dealer fit option list??? |

Hmmmm.... it says 5+2 is standard. They usually put as little as possible on as standard to keep the list price down and load it on the options. GONE - '07 TD4 GS manual Zermatt Silver

So you'd have to pay to have the 2 seats (that you don't want) removed. Like the old days... a cigar lighter was standard. and you specified 'non-smoker' package to remove it.
