Not sure that I could live with the "Saddlebags" In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

From the PH review:
It really does make me wonder what's the point of the Discovery now? If you absolutely must have 7 full size seats then I guess you're stuck with it, but if you don't need the extra seats, or a couple of occasional chairs in the boot are enough, then the Discovery does seem to be pointless. The Defender does the "rough and tumble cool and practical" and the RRS does the "luxury like a Rangie but better to drive" side better. The old Disco had a very definite position in the line up. It was the most practical - bigger inside than anything else in the range, excellent off road and cheap enough that one would use it off road, decently comfortable without being lavish. The new Defender does exactly what the old Disco did. The new Disco is betwixt and between. I wonder if the new Defender will take Disco sales to the point where they kill it off. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

@RRSTDV8 I think you're right - sales of the D5 were already in the pits, this new Defender will make it tank completely!
