Looks like a Range Rover at the front and not too keen on the rear. Perhaps my opinion will change when I see one for real.

Not much point in looking as we can't afford one anyway. We've found a decent Land Rover mechanic at Anstey who is currently sorting the engine out on the Discovery with a new cam etc for £750. Shoould have it back on Tuesday next week, so it should be OK for a few more years yet. Decided to spend some money on a newer caravan instead of a newer Disco.

I thought you chaps might have been being a but harsh on the new disco but now I've seen the pictures my God is the back end bad! Surely it can't go into production like that it looks like a French van!!? The side view looks very "American 4x4" and the front looks like a more plasticy range rover. Could do with a few tweaks IMHO.

Just seen this and think it is rather relevant:

Sounds quite believable to me.

Yes, but they've addressed the poor departure angle with a shorter overhang and it does have all round air suspension so one has to assume that it will have more ground clearance for off-road than is evident in the photos.

Oooh! Look! It's a 2005 Discovery.

It actually looks sillier than the Range Stormer and that's saying something.
