My most recent Car and Driver reports that the Disco3 will have an alpha-numeric designation in the US. We will be getting the "LR5"

So there you go, close the book on one of the most distinctive SUVs ever, name and all.

Land Rover announced over a month ago that the Discovery 3 will be the LR3 in the US

The disco name will live on everywhere else

I just wonder how many miles I will get out of my 2000 D2. At only 49.9K, she has some life left in her.

Paul, my '99 is still going well at 130k so you still have some time!

Excellent!

Under warranty, a new long block was installed at 46K. So I guess 200K should not be an issue then.

Paul, I guess it depends how much faith you put in Cape Fear?

Can i please post he "hello and welcome to last week" pic, this is killin me.

Dont worry, there will be plenty of soccer moms ready to trade in their pampered D2 for an LR3 so you should be able to get used Discoes in pretty good shape for a few more years.
