Media chum of mine showed me some info on new Land Rover Discovery today. Brand new design, sleek body which (appropriately) looks somewhere between Range Rover and Freelander, engines all borrowed from Jaguar (including new 2.7TD V6), new 'terrain response system' which uses electronic modes to adjust ride height, torque, traction control and transmission settings to suit, and independent air suspension.
Goes on sale later this year.
Goodbye to all the old transmission troubles at last?

Forgot to add: like the Range Rover, the interior looks a huge step upmarket

Pics in what our local rag calls its motoring column. Looks good.

When I saw the word disco, I thought it was going to be what a disco used to be when I were a kid. I want my money back!

"engines all borrowed from Jaguar (including new 2.7TD V6)"
Would that be the new Peugeot/Citroen engine? At least there will be one part of the new Disco which works reliably!!!!!
Glad it's got a new sleek body - an essential for when it's doing all that off- road stuff!!
I am going somewhere to hide now!!

Its quite a nice design but from some rear angles it looks like a Transit van.

"Goodbye to all the old transmission troubles at last"....and Hello to lack of ground clearance, poor axle articulation, low overhangs, way to much bling, and troublesome electronics.
