Eww is all I can say.

It's like the hideous, deformed lovechild of a disco 4 and a mini clubman. Yuck.

Think I'd rather have a Skoda Yeti than that thing. Very disappointed.

Low profile tyres.... I think that says a lot about the market they expect to sell into.

That is a sorry state of affairs. Sadly looks like Land Rover have taken leave of their senses and are essentially appealing to the Chelsea Tractor brigade . makes you wonder where they did their Market research ......the local playgroup or tellytubbies perhaps or better still have they asked Victoria Beckham again for her invaluable and extensive knowledge in 4x4s ?Come on Land Rover get a grip and get back on track ! It's embarrassing !
