The Discovery 5 was advertised by driving through a desert sand storm.

These days, advertisers are trying to sell you a lifestyle rather than a product |

I think you hit the nail on the head - been to a dealership recently? - you wouldn't want to get any of those pretty things dirty. People who really want rugged vehicles seem to be buying L200's and the like these days. And LR would not want those grubby farming and hippy types in their showrooms upsetting their Mulberry handbagged customers would they? (Lady Chatterly might be taken with them mind you ..... ) Oddly of course, the X series are even prettier inside than LR, and less capable off road. Never mind, it's marketing. I do have some hopes that the new defender will be rather like the Freelander in many ways - people say the FL2 can do pretty much everything a defender can, only without breaking your spine in the process (and accepting it won't take bashing quite so well). The new defender needs to take that more comfortable starting point and ruggedise it. Time will tell where they go with it. |

Apparently when the last Disco was new, Jeremy Clarkson drove one up a mountain for a Top Gear programme. When they got to the top and finished filming he got helicoptered off the mountain and left it there for the film crew to bring down, they then discovered that he still had the keys in his pocket. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Anyone remember when the L233 came out JLR were adamant that the nobbly buttons are a key feature that when wearing gloves the controls can be accessed relatively easily! Even with the final facelift the kept emphasising this. Then the L405 took a very different route... MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Sort of hoped that LR would bring out a ruggised option pack for the DS with things like a stronger undertray,, a bit more ground clearance, better wheel/tyre combo, anti scratch side panels etc. but no, sigh, just a 'sports' car option coming. Sigh again.

They are more likely to bring out a "School Run" pack the way they are going. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
