According to Autocar when they mentioned this some weeks ago the Discovery name means nothing in the US and obviously the marketing folks think LR3 a better title. Presumably this leaves the door open to a LR1, LR2, LR4 ........ Shades of BMW all over again, in which case I wonder if the odd numbers will be the normal vehicles and the even the sporty ones.
