Thank Goodness it will at least have a V-6.

Looks good to me.

well it's not him someone within LR marketing leaked it and they're going to loose their job basically.

the stuff you see spy shots of isnt so bad...they're out in public so it's fair game...it's the internal marketing stuff that's a no no

The new Freelander looks nice. Really like the designs of the entire model line

that looks a lot worse than those CGI's before... Seriously, car companies should hire some of these car artists that do impressions for mags. Their versions usually look a lot better than end product.


Overall shape looks a lot like escape...

The official pictures of the Land Rover Freelander II are out. As expected, it takes its cues from the Range Rover and from the LR3 (headlights, grille and so forth). It has also grown in length by 5 cm.

Big news also under the hood: a 3.2-liters V6 gasoline engine that outputs 233 ps that can take the Freelander from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds, while the average fuel consumption is 11.2 liters/100 km; a 2.2-liters turbo-diesel engine that outputs 160 ps, with a torque of 400 Nm and an average fuel consumption of 7.5 liters/100 km (available also with a particulate filter).

The Freelander will be available either with a 6-speed manual gearbox or with an automatic transmission. Traction is on all 4 wheels, obviously, with systems such as Terrain Response, an integrated control system for the suspensions, torque redirection and hill descent already seen on the Range M.Y. 2007 and Gradient Release Control (that assists the driver when releasing the brakes on slippery slopes).

Pricing has not been announced, nor where and when the model will publicly debut, although the timing of these pictures suggests next month at the British Motor Show.

Following the leak of a brochure for the 2007 Land Rover LR2 in May, official press photos have now surfaced online of the truck. The images have appeared on a number of automotive discussion forums and blogs. The vehicle will be known as the Freelander 2 in Europe.

The new one looks a lot more like Big Brother Range Rover. The first Freelander, IMO, should not have been dropped....Land Rover needed a small starter model in the American market, especially since the mid-slotted Discovery is gone. The big Range Rovers are just too expensive, despite being some of the world's best mountain goats....and were ( and are ) unreliable to boot. In fact, reliability is something that Land Rover needs to seriously work on in all of its vehicles across the board. For years they have languished at or near the bottom of both J.D. Power and Consumer Reports reliability rankings.

Looks better to me than the RR Sport .

Maria is HOT but the car isn't.

you heard the story about her and LR right? Apparently she went to a LR dealer down in Florida wanted to check out the new RRS. Dealer thought, wow great opportunity, handed her the keys to let her have it on an extended test drive. Fast forward 1 week or so, a LR dealer in the Midwest calls dealer in Florida, saying we have your RRS here and it's all tore up, dirty, trashed up inside, apparently this young lady beat on it dropped it off at the next dealership and said I dont like it. So what does she get for doing that? A 20 million endorsement deal to pitch LR products.

neither the chinless, egocentric tennis player nor the Rover suit my style. Give me Anna 1,000,000 X over any day.

It's the first time I' ve heard of this story, thanks for sharing.
I'm a little surprised they would still give her an endorsement deal. There are many celebrities you can get to endorse your product for that kind of $$$, somebody at LR must be really enamoured with her . . .
