First impression was yuk. I like LRs concept one. This one just looked like a bastardised mini. Though I'm sure in the fullness of time I would grow to like it, inital reaction is usually a good sign of the likelyhood of one crossing my driveway.
I did try and picture it with a lift and that front skirt shaved off. Maybe a challenger for the old rx4(?) title.

I did find a picture online when they were testing the prototypes in the US It looks quite decent in that car derived suv way I reckon its a WAGmobile and that is a growing market sector I might expect my daughter to be looking at one any time as her fiance is a devotee of 4wd and that round badge ( I've mentioned it once thats my allowance used up) plus as yet they haven't developed a reputation for producing unreliable cars unlike their german rivals.
