If the Freelander 2 is called LR2 in North America how was called the Discovery 2 because I see that the Discovery 3 is called LR3 ?

It was called Discovery 2, as far as I know.

I was told by the salesman in the dealership that due to a very bad reputation of Freelander in North America it was decided to change Freelander 2's name to something different. And along with that, I guess, they also changed Discovery 3 to LR3

Aren't you then stuck when we get the discovery 4 and Freelander 3, doesn't it then become the LR3? which has already been used?

I guess they'll have to hope that LR doesn't produce a Freelander 3

LR 2.1 ? or just call all new models LR2, works for VW golf , Bmw 3 etc. What next RRS = LR4? FFRR = LR5 ?

How rude . Next you'll be saying that if you tow a c'van it'll make it a LR1.8, as a penalty

I suspect they'll just stick with LR2 and LR3 for the next generation and at that point the '2' and the '3' denote the size of the package, much like BMW 3, 5, 7 or M-B C, E, S. At some point it gets ridiculous to keep incrementing the number, otherwise in 2065 you guys will be driving Freelander 14's or some such

Tow bars can be dangerous

Does that mean the Disco owners will be saying to the Freel owners "My Tata's bigger than yours"?

In North America, LR2 and LR3 badges will remain for all future model replacements. So the Freelander 3 will still be called the LR2 in the states. As already stated, this will now relate to package size.

I was told whilst at the Solihul plant not long ago, that there have been discussions about bringing the LR2 and LR3 badge to Europe on future generations of the cars.

The UK's decision to keep the LRX name for Europe on the forth coming smaller car may be the greenlight for worldwide LR badging.
