Discovery 5- What a joke

[macar]

Put a deposit down on a new Disco 5 several months ago. Delivery due March 2017, still no sign of the vehicle. Keep in touch with the dealer, keep getting 'Landrover can't give a delivery date' but should be anytime soon.
The order will be cancelled next week, spending the day looking at some alternative German cars. This will be a novelty as have only ever purchased British cars and bikes. Looks like a reverse Brexit.

Have you ordered with a Towbar, because I know they are having trouble getting them and there a a few guys on Disco3forum who are still waiting for theirs.

No towbar- I heard that rumour as well.

But this moan isn't about a car at all - it's about the delivery. There are challenges as above (and maybe another on 2 litre) but if a late delivery is enough for you to cancel the delivery go for it. I'm JLR so bound to be biased but borrowed a fresh out the box Disco to come to Cornwall this week and my family want me to cancel my Range Rover to get one next. It is absolutely stunning, near five hour trip with ease and is faultless. Delays are bad, I get that, but once you have it you will love it.

And after seeing some on the roads, I still love the Volvo's but my god they look awful from the back!

I can appreciate that the Disco 5 is hopefully a nice car and may justify me placing a order last year, but that's no use to me if I can't get delivery of mine. I've had Landrover Disco's and Defenders for the last 20 years but don't appreciate waiting 6 weeks longer than the quoted delivery date. May now hang onto the Disco 4, tell the dealer to poke the car and buy a toy for the garage,
