sorry not the best pictures

Hmmmmmmmm. Jury is still out I think. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

I like it! Can't afford one though! Saying that, I'm very happy with my FL2. Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

Gone but not forgotten:
2014 RRS2 SDV6 HSE in Loire Blue
2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in Santorini Black

The black one must be destined for a fussballer

Yes they have arrived...

I was at my local dealer today Stratstone and they were cleaning the cars ready for launch day tomorrow
They will have 2 demonstrators on from tomorrow 1 black and the other in grey, one in the showroom(red) and 1 sold unit in black.

Had a good look at them today and they are stunning, the current model looks very dated already..

Waw! Very nice! I prefer the black, however, with the contrasting elements.

Picked up my RRS following a service today. There are two new RRS in the showroom so had a bit of a look. First impression is that it looks better in the metal than in photos. Doesn't look nearly so Evoque as I thought it would; in fact it looks very handsome except for the silly fake bonnet vents. I like the standard increased ride height compared to our older versions.

The interior is very nice. Understated and rather like the FFRR. I found that the rear seats have very poor leg room when I had the driver's seat set for my 6ft2 size. I'd expected the longer wheelbase to give limo-like rear leg room but the space appears to have been used in the boot - the boot is very large. The access to the rear seats is better compared to mine - the rear door is longer which is good to see.

Apparently they are booking test drives from Monday. Tempting but then I'd want to buy one and that would lead to "serious discussions" at home  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

They do look fabulous...have seen one in showroom....but not in black....guess we will get used to seeing them on the road....covet one already lol

Then I guess I'm the only one thinking: Looks like a big Evoque.... sorry, just my humble opinion...

Unnecessary quote removed

Evoguish maybe.

I've seen a few on the road now and from the front they look a lot like the new ffrr then when they pass they look a bit like the ewok - it's a hybrid  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Front looks OK. Side view is OK. Profile and stance is nice. But it all seems to go very wrong behind the back wheel. From the back, its bum looks a bit bulbous but from the side it looks pinched. It looks so un RR like to me. Sad.

I still see evoque every time they are out - i cant help think is that an evoque or is it a sport oh its a....(insert what it turns out to be).

it does share some clues from the current sport and the FFRR, but its an evoque XL and i think will always be. Mike
