Should I buy a Freelander before they replace it in 2015?

I’ve discovered that the Land Rover Freelander is due to be replaced in 2015. Should I buy one before the change or wait for the new model?

No. Wrong time to buy a new Freelander. New nine-speed autobox coming. Brilliant new range of chain cam exhaust manifold in head 'Ingenium' engines coming. So don't buy the same old thing now.
