Default Exclusive: next Land Rover Discovery will be mid-engined sports car

In light of rising fuel costs, the age of chunky SUVs will die. LR is going electric and more aero to survive. Time to chop off the lift on my Disco

Looks like a candidate for an LS conversion.

One of my neighbours told me yesterday that the next Land Rover will be a sports car. He was serious. I didn't let him in on the joke.

I dunno, Porsche now makes a 4-door. I heard they have a minivan in the works.

Panamera has been out since 2010. Cayenna since 2003. They've offered four door models for quite some time.

Funny, wanted to get my wife a Cayenna...but she wanted a Dll. Sometimes...wonder how different my life would be...if l'd of stuck to my guns...lol.

It's too close to reality. I saw what I thought was a freelander or whatever Subaru thing Rover makes now and I swear it said range Rover on it. The only one they make I've seen that looks like anything but the Rav 4 is the defender. They may as well make a mini van and call it a defender 2022 because names seem to mean nothing to Rover anymore.

When April fools is every day.

I love the way that looks, but since I do even if it wasn't April Fools day they'd muck it up before they sold it. Probably give it 5 doors, lift it up, put it on a AWD chassis, might even add terrain response and command seating. Would anyone want anything like that, really?
