This is the Land Rover Discovery concept, which will preview the replacement for both the LR2 and LR4. Back in the early 2000’s, our EIC bought a 5-speed manual Discovery, before it was internet-cool to own a manual version of an obscure car. (Sadly, it was even longer ago than that — the first of my four Land Rovers was a five-speed, zero-option SD that I took delivery of from LR Sewickley in June of 1997! — JB) Rest assured, this car will not be obscure if you live in the right ZIP code.

Looks fantastic! Classic LR design with a modern twist.
From the outside, it looks like a renamed Ford Explorer.
I don't know how this could look less like the current LR4 unless it looked like a 911. It does resemble the new LR Sport (which is gorgeous), which resembles the Evoque, which was pretty freaking unique and great looking. The only other car I can see that looks truly similar is the current Durango, which several of you love. I'd really be curious to see the crappy cars that all the Negative Nancies on this site drive.
So which other things look like this? Regular RR (98% sized) RR Sport (87% sized) Evoque (65% sized) Doesn't: LR2 (ancient design sized) You can't make all the models look like copies of the RR! The Discovery has always had different styling. Always!
