Looks better on the outside than current model don't think they have done as much as they could have with the interior though. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
2013 Evoque 5 Door Pure Tech SD4 - Orkney Grey with Panoramic Roof (Mrs E's new baby)

GONE - RRS - 3.0 TDV6 HSE - Santorini (2010)
GONE - RRS - 2.7 TDV6 HSE - Java Black (2007)
GONE - Porsche Boxster S - 3.2 - Black

I need to see it up close, but there seems to be too much plastic below the dials, unless thats a door'flap to something

I like it though

They've come a long way since I had my FL1 back in 2003

That said, I'd still go for the RRS Nick, size matters......... no matter what anyone says  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

I wonder if this one is going to be keyless start?

Whenever I jump into Mrs Jims FL2 I sit there pressing the start button but nothing happens...........

^^^ So, nothing happens when you press Mrs Jims buttons........I guess that's what happens when you get older Jim  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Looks okay , but those seats , never seen cows that colour ….

I'm not keen on Highland Cow colour leather either

But it is going keyless start too and its about time it has a reversing camera too

The design of the Freelander looks very aged, like a model of the 1990`s at the most.

Don`t understand why LR continue with this aged design.. SW

Sometimes it is not enough to do our best;
sometimes we must do what is required.

2005 RRS HSE 2.7 TDV6
Now: 2016 RRS HSE DYNAMIC 3.0 TDV6

You could say the same of the RRS been aged

its not due to be fully facelifted for a few more years, but the interior stopped me from buying another one, as it was dated compared to RRS/D4 and the evoques etc

Well I like it. I loved my FL2 and was amazed how good they are when i had a courtesy car for a recent service. yes they roll a bit but they are very comfortable, better than RRS actually. They do what they say on the tin, i think they stick with it as they have their hands full on New Evoque, FFRR and RRS models. I'm sure it will get it's update at some stage but it's improved my biggest critcisms, poor dash and better, stronger engin  RRS 2010

Santorini
Ivory Leather

After reading up a little on the various motoring sites it looks a promising car.

We were going to have a look at a FL2 MY12 HSE ex demo tomorrow, but Mrs Jim now wants a MY13 I guess that I'll have to carry on working in varous holes for a couple of more years........

Jim

I like the look of that. The interior looks very good indeed. If they could just increase the towing capacity to 3 tonnes I'd be very tempted...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Correct and the RRS will be replaced in 2013 if i'm correct? SW

I have also seen a feature on this in the paper. Although not a full on FL2 aficionado, other than the new headlights, I can't see the difference between this and the facelift a couple of years ago when the changed the grille.

I must be missing something?
