DHappel Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Looks like LR is at least trying to find some of the old magic. You'll still see no wheel travel and low profile tires, but it's a start. http://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/the-2018-land-rover-discovery-svx-is-making-basic-bitch-1803762682 http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2019-land-rover-discovery-svx-photos-and-info-news https://www.carthrottle.com/post/the-land-rover-discovery-svx-is-an-all-terrain-monster-with-v8-power/ It's funny how the road-car magazines talk about 'massive' tires (31") and how the orange accents are a call out to the 'hardy' G4 Discos (G4 being an afternoon play date compared to Camel Trophy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aebrownleeiv Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm torn, I want to like this because "more offroady" and I want to love having a V8 option in the new Disco......but I can't be the only one who would want all of this, with the diesel...Am I?

DHappel Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 How about this: Keep the blown V8 (fun, but not needed at all off-road and $$$)give me smaller wheels and bigger tiresditch the rear winch, add skids, sliders, bumpers and a front winch.keep the improved terrain response and the pistol grip shifterLoose all the does-nothing-but-add-weight-and complexity tech like app-adjustable power seats. In fact, ditch the 3rd row all together and give me more storage. Now THAT would be an off-road Disco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvRovr Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I was with you up to losing the power folding seats. Keep those and the 3rd row, and it's perfect. Edit, and actually, ditch the blower. Lots of fun, but it will never be fast so keep it reliable. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm with you, I kinda start thinking just a "bigger newer defender" would be the better option. I would like to see the ability to remove the 3rd row for storage, but allow that for the end-user to do. I'd frankly be more happy with just bigger wheel wells for so me heavier meats.
