http://www.automotorundsport.de/d/57019 here are some recently released pics of the 05 Discovery! What does everyone think? Not a bad design...I like my 03 Disco, but if I could've afforded it I wouldn't mind the 05! |

i think it looks like a piece of shit. A lot like a mini van swallowed a huge box. They might as well call it an upgraded freelander. |

OK...bad news. My wife came down stairs and saw me looking at the 2005 Disco and declared, "Wow, that's neat! Looks like my (Honda) Element" Kiss of Death |

Freelander? Honda Element? I think I'm gonna be sick ... I hope the finished product looks better than the concept photos I've been seeing. |

I'd like to see someone change a tire on the trails with mud all over it. Won't be a happy thing. |

There's no way I'd get that over my '03. I'd get an '04 but not the '05. |

God, I hope this is not what we're going to have to expect from the Ford years with Rover, as they cater to soccer moms. If they want to make an improvement then slap an overhead cam engine in the disco. |

Sign me up for the '04 when replacement time comes. Locking center Diff, bigger engine, old body and frame. |

this is the most "honda element" looking picture of the new discovery during testing.

I hope I never pass one of those on the street. I don't want the driver to see me laughing as I go by... Meet "Joe," He's on the "LR3" design team.
