In the article on the inside rear cover of the latest LRO they say the
Defender 3 is being launched to the press in Scotland.

Have I missed an anouncement somewhere?

Do they really mean Disco 3?

Although they did issue a set of photographs with the new Ford Bronco/LR
Defender not so long ago.
If they only had kept the same prices with the new disco, I would certainly
have bought one.

Ahh, that explains it.

On the way to LRO last weekend I was overtaken by a Disco 3 on the A1.
They're a bit ugly from the rear aren't they!

I think the new Disco looks great from all angles, including the back.
It looks different, for sure, but I like it.

There, I've said it....

I reckon the new Disco looks like it has been carved from a single billet of
Plasticene with a potato peeler. Mind you, I thought that about the new RR
as well.

Purposeful, imposing, even intimidating, yes. Pretty, no.
