It seems like the full sized Range Rover would be better suited for a third row. Why would you build such a small vehicle AND make it with a third row?

They're basically providing a 7 seater based on the LR2 with the same capabilities - fulltime FWD with RWD torque upon slippage. If you need the off-road capabilities of a more capable LR, then GO FOR THAT ONE, as they are capable enough! It’s not watering down the off-road capabilities of anything.

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:15:38 +0000 http://www.leftlanenews.com/?p=9182#comment-408040 They use numbers rather than names because they want people to talk about Land Rovers instead of Discoveries, Defenders and Freelanders. It ensures that the halo effects of niche and premium models will be more effective, since the brand is understood by customers in a unified way. Unfortunately that all goes to shit when you call your premium models Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. Fuckwits.

What I like about Land Rover, is that they only have 4 models. Its not like Mercades, BMW, and Lexus where they have 50 "different" modles that all look the same, all named with numbers..it gets comfusing. But I really love the LR2 Why dont they just make 7 seats a different LR2 trim level?

If every company in the world wasn't aspiring to take customers from these three, we'd still have Acura Vigors and Integras instead of RL, TL, TSX and RSX's.

Especially when hummer's naming scheme is much more well known and the H2 is bigger than the H3, while the LR2 is smaller than the LR3, and now the LR3 will be bigger than the LR4? i dont get it, go back to freelander and discovery. christ. this land rover naming scheme is rediculous and it only confuses people.
