2009 Discovery 3 Facelift

2009 Land Rover Discovery 3 facelift spotted in Britain | GlobalMotors.net

If you have'nt already seen it...

a V12 disco !

if anything was going to be able to convert me from dependers it'd be one of them

yarbut, just think of the electrical gremlins LR could build into one of them!

i think i could put up with a few gremlins, just think what a straight through exhaust could sound like

who do i send my payment to

Can yu imagine trying to dry that out after a deep ford?rolleyes:

i assume it'd just be a couple of TDV6s ducktaped together

the Jag V12?

ad forgetten about that un, the cheque is all signed and waiting now

All well and good, but to me it just looks like yet another Japanese copy. Wider wheel arches. little spoiler, and it's all been 'rounded off' to pander to political correctness and pedestrian safety. I'm not against safety as such, but jeez, it's just making everything just look like everything else.

Landrovers were always different and led the way .. It seems they're not anymore.

i helped put a V12 jag auto in a depender ages ago (dispite my advice not to) - it was really nice to drive, untill you forgot it was a V12 and booted it - thus breaking props, drive shafts, UJs , diffs ........... etc etc

That looks rather tasty, I think I'd beter start saving now!

it is a range rover in disguise nah!! will stick with my trusty 200tdi can drive comfortably if I was in the disco 3 with v12 I wouldn't be as comfy as I am in my 200tdi careful of paintwork and careful driving nah!!!

It's a pity about those dumb looking 'bling' tail lights all the cars are getting now. What the D3 needs there is a 'smoked' lens. Smooth.

i still think they look like theve been made from lego.
a few months before xmas i saw the land rover concept on the M1 between junction 28 and 27. i didnt have a clue what it was but knew it was special cos it was covered in tape and foam bits.
the concept was white and i didnt have a clue what it was untill i saw a pic of it in a car mag (cant remember which one) with a bit of a story about it saying how land rover had made this concept but as yet have no plans to put in into production. guess judging by the testing of it on public roads it IS going into production.
cant make my mind up if i liked it or not.

just done a quick search to find out what mag it was in but found this :
LRX Concept
