My dealer said I would be unlikely to get my hands on one for a couple of years anyway as they anticipate high demand and I expect a lot will go for export. I guess unless you already have your name down for one already you won't get one for a while unless it is a demo model. GONE - '07 TD4 GS manual Zermatt Silver

I can't see much economic logic for buying a Disco Sport with the auto box and the old 2.2 engine - the mpg is just unacceptably poor for a modern car. So might be tempted by a manual - although don't like the squashed roof evident from the pre-release photos. What is it with JLR - are all their senior execs midgets? The XJ is crippled as a large executive saloon because of the squashed roof line - getting into the back seat is a real head banger. The Xf roof line is also a bit lower than I would like - senior company executives don't travel in the back of XFs of course. The Evoque is (to my eyes) just a Freely2 with a squashed roof. Maybe the eventual Defender replacement may retain the boxy look, I hope so. So if I was buying anytime soon one of the last of the Freely 2s would get my vote. This is a proper roofline for a proper Landrover...

I have ordered a metropolis , a couple if reasons are , I hope that most of the wee faults are ironed out .. The DS is going to have teething problems . The metropolis is a lot if car for the money (once trade in is taken into account) .. There is no way I could afford a DS with metropolis spec at launch . The FL2 will always be a sought after car , even more so if the DS is a let down.

Having seen more material on the new DS, I'm beginning to warm to it... If there's a better engine down the line, I'd be tempted to hang on for that... ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...

I think when it comes to changing the fl2 for me, I'll be going back to a range rover. The rr has a big feel to it which the fl2 just hasn't quite fulfilled for me. ( that being said, I do like it ) At this time I don't see the DS doing the same either.

Supercharged v8 me thinks ... If the wife allows.

I love it. But starting at 32k it's out of my league

Haven't voted as don't know how too. But would have gone fl2 deal

Can definitely agree with the don't buy a new model sentiment until the problems have been sorted. My missus' 2006 FL1 TD4 has not had a single thing go wrong with it, unlike the RAV4 POS she had before it, and unlike my 2010 FL2, and hers has done 15,000 miles more ! FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green
