We met our Son today for lunch and parked our car just across the road. I washed and wet waxed it at the weekend, including dressing the wheels and tyres. Walking back to the car after lunch it really stood out among all the other Euro boxes.

It looked so different to all the other boring offerings. Such a shame that JLR have decided to go down the soft roader, boring euro box route.

I can honestly say, I have no desire to change our SD4 HSE for anything else available at the moment. The FL2, is just perfect for our needs. A perfect mix of luxury and comfort. crossed with a very capable 4X4 and tow car that is also economical to run.

And looks like a Land Rover should IMHO

Just saying like  2007 TD4 XS The work horse that earns its up keep
2013 SD4 HSE The posh one for towing the caravan
1973 Triumph Stag I bought in 2009 and restored.

Couldn’t agree more! +10  I've decided to stop being a good example and will now just be a terrible warning.....
2008 TD4HSE - gone but much loved.
2014MY SD4 Metropolis - very much loved.

Agree with all, except I think 'economical ' is stretching things a little.... Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

2014 Orkney grey Freelander SD4 GS.
2004 Zambezi silver Discovery 2 Td5 (Gone)
1963 Surf blue Morris Mini Minor Super de Luxe (my little toy)

Like yourself I love walking up to my Freelander, it looks stunning. Obviously everyone says but I think I’ve the best looking Freelander on the road. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Agree with the euro boxes statement and the very economical running and maintenance costs. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

I agree that I like the look of the FL2.

But there again, perhaps it's because I have fallen in love;
with the driving position, comfy seats, ease of travel, and feeling that it could tackle any road condition we came across. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 76k+ miles) (MY2015)

+1 for agree.

I have spent the last few months looking at alternatives, and decided nothing ticks the boxes like my F2. Its staying for another year. Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018
Gone-1972 88 SWB Soft top
Gone-1981 24v FFR Lightweight
Gone-2009 Freelander 2 TD4 GS manual
Gone before it bankrupted me- 2008 Discovery 3 TDV6 Auto
2013 Freelander 2 SD4 GS Auto

They are nice looking vehicles; the styling is miles better than the FL1.

I do like the Disco Sport but the full size Discovery is horrendous, awful. Trying to compete with 'Toad of Toad Hall' Audi Q7s and the like. The rear end looks like a lopsided punched face, which I suppose is appropriate if your intended market is gangsters and drug dealers.

I have been on a trip to Braemar in the Cairngorms and my Firenza Red FL2 has attracted several comments and has stood out against Lamberginni and Porchies, so chuffed
