Correct.

The black pack doesn't do it for me, looks better without IMO. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Does it for me  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Not a fan of the DS but I agree with Ron personally I feel they look better with the black back!

I guess that's why it's optional

Was at the main dealer here Yesterday, DS's everywhere! A black MY15 SE FL2 parked near looked soooo much
Bigger, was quite noticeable and the DS from behind! Well you can only say it's not pretty!!! As one drove out I really didn't feel the love, especially from the back! Lots of "Goodyear" rubber aswell, not encouraging!!! Looks well made but doors don't close with the Thud of the FL2 for some reason, interesting! MY15

The DS has the worst rear lights in the industry, style over substance, the reverse lights are pathetic far too small, I've upgraded the bulbs to LED which has made a slight improvement.

I don't have the same love for this car as I did for my other Landies. It fits my needs perfectly in everyway but just don't feel enthusiastic about it as other owners do. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

That's a shame! I have to give you credit for your honest review! Personally for me when I see the DS I get the feeling it's more of Land Rover first attempt at a mini crossover, styling wise the front nose is just so squashed MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

When I first heard there was going to be (as we thought) the Freelander 3 around March 2015 I said to my dealer when I got my Barollo Black Evoque - That is good as that is around the time I plan to change the Evoque. When I was in the dealer not so long ago I said to the DP that I was glad I didn't place the £1000 advance returnable deposit on a DS before it was officially shown as I would be asking for a refund & I also said that if someone had said to me 6 Months ago I would be buying a new Freelander I would have laughed but I'm glad I did!!

The Evoque was the first car since the MG ZT first appeared in 2001 that I said - I want one of them but the DS is just to me an OK car. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

These discussions keep taking me back to the early 80's when Ford bought out the new Sierra and yet everyone wanted more Cortina. I had a Sierra as a company car and someone asked how I liked driving a Jelly Mould?  3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I saw 2 within 5 mins of each other last week. I past one of them on the motorway , the wife said nice car but never a landrover , we "towered" over the DS. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

In Australia all LR's come std with full size spare! No steel temporary but a full size equivalent of what is std on the vehicle. If I understand this right with the DS you have to choose between 7 seats and full size spare??? This has to be specified at build??? If this true it will be interesting to see how this goes down here as no other manufacturer has gotten away with this and In fact has always been a point of difference for LR's here!
VW went to ridiculous lengths and expense to move the earlier Tourag's - it didn't work!
