Landrover LRX

[auditt]

Has anyone expressed interest in the car?
Has anyone got the size of this?
I was told it was smaller than a freelander?
It looks quite big in the videos, very wide and bulky like the q7?
How much is it going to be?
Engine sizes?
Whats peoples view on it?
Personally i think its quite nice, quite aggressive looking, and the interior, if its anything like the press shots looks really funky.

I thought it was going to be a smaller Rangerover but bigger than the Freelander... I Really like it... I'd buy one for the Wife so I could have a go, just got a '55' RRS for myself.

Well my mum has been looking for a car for the passed few years, was wanting her to get a RRS (TOO BIG) Then i said the new freelander (TOO BIG) When speaking to stratstones todays they said it will be smaller than the freelander and mums quite interested.

She's not THAT big, is she?

Think A3 estate sized body, so slightly smaller than a Freelander, but with much more presence...

Absolutely bursting with in cabin tech, they're having difficulty fitting it all in!

Definitely smaller than a Freelander (which by the way is about the same size as my Range Rover Classic!)

So lots of problems at the start, maybe mum should wait for an ex demo.

Them pictures just look like a freelander i cant see no difference.

That's because its the LRX chassis on a shortened Freelander body! D'oh!

My understanding is that it is slightly larger than the FL2.
Will be available in 3/5 door.

I might be wrong though

My local dealer said the opposite, smaller than the freelander but time will tell.

Definately smaller, my mate is spending a lot of time contorting himself into tight spaces!!!

He's very honest with me regarding how good upcoming developments from JLR are, and he is immensly proud of LRX. They have woken up to the quality issues with certain recent cars, and the reliability testing has been taking up several notches, so early problems should be minimised.

An example of this is the new rotary gear selector in recent Jags. His brother was heavily involved in it, and they dumped 2l of coca cola into the mechanism, then drove the car for 100,000 miles, without fault. Previously they would have done a lot less and just signed it off...

I'm meeting with him soon, I'll see if I can wheedle any further info out of him, which may involve the consumption of lots of beer...

Things I put myself through for you guys!! ;-)

Thanks sam, any info would be great.
I might get one myself, i just dont want to be labeled as driving a girlie car, personally i think it looks quite masculine, agressive!

Having worked (last 18 months) and still working on this project i can tell you all you need to know!!!!!







But big brother is watching and I like my job

I can say.............
