The slope on that back window will really eat into the luggage space Sad

I love these contemporary manufacturer disguises; rather than stick on awkward disguising panels, they wrap the cars with a camouflage material that covers next to nothing. If this is the disguised car, I don't need to see the real thing - the underlying design is clear enough.

Having just paid a deposit on an 18 month old FL2, I am not worried by this in the slightest. I'm sure it'll be great, but I love the huge glass area and square shape of the FL2 and this is just another variation on the Evoque shape, which is getting a bit predictable and boring now and the awkwardly high and rising to the rear wasteline, along with the extra small rear window, are things I hate about current car design. Neither my daughter (nor my dog for that matter!) are going to be impressed by the view out of the back of that!

Thanks, but no thanks Sad

Looks slightly bigger than the current FL2, quite like it apart from the small rear window Smile Look forward to seeing it in the flesh at some showroom in the future.

i must admit i like the front, but am a bit disappointed by the small rear window and the big overhangs in the front and rear.
Personally I would like to see this car a bit more off road biased.. more practical
if we want an on road biased car there is the evoque...

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Tambora Flame

I like.....

Looks a bit bigger and the back does not look like it has been sat on.

Would be nice for the rear window to be bigger mind.

I am probably wrong but I read some where that the picture shown is in fact the new 7 seater evoque? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

And on top of all that we now have 'Ingenium'.

Whatever they're paying their marketing people it's too much. Far too much.

And if that stylised silhouette is anything to go by the same applies to their designers.
