Unveiled: 2017 Land Rover Discovery

[Pedrocas]

More to come...

So they took their second most iconic vehicle and turned it into a generic crossover-looking blob.

Sorry, Land Rover, but I don't see any heritage or lineage behind that styling. It could be a BMW, Audi, or Scion just by changing the badge.

As much the sample image jumps in the color scale on the new model, as much does it on the ugly scale.

 

[Aston Martin]

Looks like the Discovery Sport

 

[NecroJoe]

Damn, that's a lotta ugly.

 

[Matt2000]

Yeah they've lost the plot with that. I've come to like the Disco Sport in its own way but to ruin the daddy Disco is something else. It's still supposed to be an off road car, so why does it have giant intakes to suck in water and ruin who knows what?

I'll reserve judgment on whether or not they've completely lost it until they reveal the Defender replacement or redesign the Range Rover in to a generic jellymould too.

To quote on ecoboost 5th mustang for Britain: "Got it. Don't want it. Thankyou, send it back.."

 

[MWF]

Great. They gave it a massive chin and turned the Disco into Peter Griffin.

 

[Captain_Whine]

Seriously, they'd be WAY better off puttin range box into an Evoque. (along with some bigger diesel)

 

[Vette Boss]

I understand changing with the times, but this is just too much. Bring the boxy Disco back.

 

[ScarFace88]

It looks like it's been given a few cortisone shots too many.

 

[Pedrocas]

 

[Blind_Io]

It looks like a Freelander with ass cancer.

 

[Pedrocas]

I don't get it. It's the same car.

Those are some serious front seat headrests. Do they have built-in ice-chests or something?

I agree, but LR needs to bring up the highway fuel economy.

They probably have motorized adjustments and LCD touchscreen infotainment systems for the passel of kids that thing is designed to haul to soccer practice.

Or airbags for said passel.

 

[Matt2000]

First time I'd seen the rear end, it's really ugly. I can see that they tried to incorporate the stepped design that used to be in the rear window but it just doesn't work. The side profile is all over the place too.

 

[Vette Boss]

I agree, but LR needs to bring up the highway fuel economy.

I guess I'm just more upset that the traditional "tough" SUV styling is rapidly fading, now with Land Rover adapting to the trend of rounder styling. They held out longer than most, but cannot resist the fashions.
