mikem Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 "Land Rover Freelander was the vehicle to invent the premium compact SUV. While already a classic, the British off-roader goes completely new with a second generation. It may be more of an evolution than a revolution in design, but it was completely reengineered from the ground up. Ready to redefine the segment it has invented, the Land Rover Freelander 2 comes with a dynamic design, purposeful stance, smart and spacious interior, and an abundance of advanced technologies to complete the package..." This is from an exclusive detailed review on the 2006 new Freelander 2 from Land Rover. You can read about it's design, performance and tuning recommandations, and also view a photo gallery and intro movie on the SUV.

Blippie Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hope those wheels and decals remain purely for the US market! Like the way the door pillars have been coloured black like the preproduction Freelander 1 ... reminiscent of the early Disco. Rest of the car looks nice. Tried to watch the video on the website but some dappy clack kept standing in the way. Cheers Blippie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Those wheels and tyres are very matchbox toy though arn't they?!? My dads TD4 Floda has just ticked over 200k miles, I wonder if he will look at the new ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Reading the original article I think the photo is a "blinged" (should that be "blung"?) one i.e. somebody's idea of good taste modifications which doesn't necessarily match my idea of same!

Les Henson Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Wheels/tyres are awful. Not suitable for the vehicle they are attached to at all. The rest looks nice though. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 tyres look to chunky for a road car plus they put the wheel on the wrong side. have to say though it looks a hell of a lot better than the carp sold as the D3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 The real Q is the reliability........ Which is "legendary" and for all the wrong reasons. You can produce anything you like - if it is poorly made and unrelaible it will kill it. mate has a new RR Sport, he is selling it as had nothing but trouble, and is buying another Lexus. Much as tho I am a LR fan thro and thro I will freely admit that they are dreadfull on the build quality and reliability and I would never ever risk my money which is sadly why I have a (high mileage) Merc, NOTHING has gone wrong, I know of 7 people who have had freelanders on the fllet, all are sick of the problems and have sworn NEVER gain Shame but reality check time Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
