So, it's as bland to drive as it looks!

The Nissan X-trail at 175bhp would be a better option dont you think?

please - I may be daft, but I'm not that far gone. The F2 is a big improvement on the F1, but as Einstein would point out: it's all relative. If you really want to go off-road, and you're not proud, the Jimny is surprisingly good.
But no, I went for the Freely, and that's the story so far.

Well your boss must be a fool, for spending £21k (minus fleet reduction) on fleet cars. Change your employer

Im not a Japanese fan, but the X-trail, Suzuki Vitara are more capable, continually advancing, suitably priced. You got to hand it to Nissan, they have the market covered.

LR had a very strong advertising campaign for the FL1, it was a success from a sales point of view from the outset, with 7-8 yr business plan.

What do we get for the FL2 adverts, some chinese lady holding tara cards, at the end of it you are thinking WTF has that got to do with cars???

Anyway I cant say anything good about the FL2, so I guess I wont say anything at all.

Oh, we've spent more than that - you should see what the Big Cheese drives.
Nissan have done well, but the cars are still pretty nasty; the interior's all plastic and silver, and the driving experience is numb. But they do keep going, so I can't relly criticise too much.

The first Freely had the 'freedom finance' deal, that was what got it off to a flying start - although an awful lot came back at the end of the finance term, and didn't get any repeat business. LR struggled like hell to deal with the volume at that point.

The F2 adverts are nonsense, and best avoided. And if you don't like the car, fair enough!

Please dont tell me its a RR sport?

Ayyyyy ... good guess. Nope, currently a Lexus LS - the 'keep the vibrating seats on in case young Mr Grace has another heart attack' model.

Even LR were willing to admit that the sort of customers that the Sport would attract weren't really the sort of customers that they wanted. And it's had the same effect as Bentley have experienced: core customers running a mile because they no longer want to be associated with a brand that caters to 'pimps, whores and football players'. So they've got some short-term cash, but at what price? A very Ford strategy.
