[mudinyour]

So you weren't sure about the new LR3. This new LR3 G4 should convince you.

The new G4 Challenge. Only thing is they did not list USA as participants

5th?

From the article:

All Land Rover models will be used during the 2005 Challenge, including the all-New Discovery 3, as well as a fifth vehicle that is yet to be announced.

5th vehicle? Stormer maybe?

 

[utahdog2003]

dropped by the dealer on Monday to pick up a little trim button for the cargo compartment (its always the little things!) and my guy there says that LR is introducing no fewer than 6 new models in the next 4 years, confirming the same thing I saw in the July issue of Car and Driver. LR guy says "New Range, Supercharged updated Freeloader, LR3 Sport" and then we got pulled into another conversational direction, so that leaves 3 to guess about.

Stormer is an obvious candidate, but that leaves 2 more! Defender anyone?

 

[rmuller]

we can only hope for them to reintroduce the defender here.. they need to either to do that or bring in a new truck that isn't so *BLING BLING* ... I mean, don't get me wrong, i love the range rover and would have one in a second, but for the price and how nice everything on it is, i don't think I'd even drive it in snow.

I'd be happy if they just brought stuff over with diesel engines in them.

 

[LiveAtTheEdge]

diesel??? I'm lookin foreward to the 4.4 Jag v8. I heard the Defender was only gunna get Ford V6's tho, thats not on. Needs to have a v8

 

[nickangus]

well if there are two spots left hopefully it will be a new defender 90 and defender 110 does any one on this site know any one on the inside of land rover or ford now that knows what the other two cars are if the range stormer is one of the three left unknown

18 countries will be represented and ours isn't one of them?? It doesn't leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling, or with much hope that getting a 90 or 110 is high on the priority list.

5th vehivle? how much longer untill hte G4?

 

[SilverJ]

Nice approach angle.

 

[bri]

You know, its starting to grow on me. I like the G4.

 

[gahill2]

Are those MT/R's on those rims???I didn't know they made them for rims that size...Is that an 18?

 

[disco_fever]

discovery 3? are the new ones named differently outside NA?

 

[koby]

North America is the lucky recipient of the LR3. What a stupid name.

The rest of the world will be getting another Discovery.

 

[rover4x4]

stupid LRNA

 

[Danger]

Are those MT/R's on those rims???I didn't know they made them for rims that size...Is that an 18?

Yes they are. However, not sure what size wheels on that G4 but I know there is a 255/55/19 MTR's that were on the G4 RR.

Those G4 LR3s look cool and appeal to the H2 side of my brain.

Regarding the new Defenders.....an african swallow carrying a coconut told me that will be out in 2 years and have the IFS / IRS.

 

[LostInBoston]

"Coconuts? where did you get coconuts?"

"What is the wing speed of a swallow?"
"African or european?"

Get me a shrubbery

oh and, the LR3 is still a POS, even if it is painted orange.

Thank You. For a second there I thought we were going to start singing the praises of every Ford Focus wagon with a snorkel and a blacked out hood. What a pile!

 

[LostInBoston]

There is a snorkel kit for the focus? Aweseom. underwater rally racing. Im gonna get one.

Wheres my shrubbery?
