So You would sell this Discovery to buy a transverse mounted mini van shaped like a Range Rover Sport. I think you guys should drive stuff before you jump to these conclusions. The goal was to build a truck that outperforms the LR4 in every way. Everybody I know who has driven it is very impressed. I would go drive one.
I was being flippant. I would be very grateful if someone were to give me a Discovery. And I wouldn't sell it to buy an Explorer. (Though I might sell it to buy a new project D2 with all the necessary gear.)
What I and a number of others are saying, simply, is that we don't like the way it looks. More so, we are disappointed in the way it looks. I realize nobody cares, least of all Land Rover, but it's still a shame. Regardless, I still hold hope for the new Defender. Every time I pass a Jeep dealer, or see a Hummer, or pass a spotless , street-lifted Rubicon driving down the road, I shake my head about LRs inability to grab a nice chunk of that market.
