I think that looks wrong, I'd change it back to LR.
Are LR are planning to develop Discovery as a stand alone brand, as they have with the Range Rover family?

DG, I could see that happening. The FL2 is to the D4 what the Evoque is to the new RRS, design wise etc. so it makes sense. I normally get the use of a new FL2 as a courtesy car, my daughter refers to it as a "mini Discovery".
In which case I assume LR would simply drop the Freelander name. Which perhaps is no bad thing, as it doesn't have a great brand image. I say this, as whenever I mention the FL2 to people who are not particulary car savvy, they often make derisory comments based on the FL1.

Older D4s? They'll be grafted/glued/gaffer taped onto the oldest D3s and someone with a D2 will give it a go.
