How will we nickname our D3 under Range Rover brand? MFRR?
Now that we will all be driving a Range Rover from september on, with the ecxeption of the Defender we will have to re-arrange the Nicknames.
This is my proposition
Range Rover freelander = Diet Range Rover DRR
Range Rover discovery 3 = Medium Fat Range Rover MFRR
Range Rover Sport = Baby Range Rover RRS or BRR
Range Rover = Full Fat Range Rover FFRR
Other Suggestions?

What makes you think they are going to ditch the Land Rover name ?21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Lambrini - RRSI know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
Actually, scrub that. RRS should be the Natural Yoghurt. Perfect for irritating s
We could even set up a dedicated tuning company for the RRS and call it OverThrush I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

As far as I can see in the current spy shots... Land Rover is clearly written on the leading edge of the bonnet. Why would they get rid of the LR brand (or keep it for just one model) and dilute the very upmarket RR brand (especially as it will be moving even further up market).

The "Land Rover" words are worth £££££££££££££ as a brand. I just cant see it.
Oh no my dealer has just dropped a big one then, they have just called themselves Likes Land Rover. Oh and Land Rover Experience have just had a load of vehicles sign written Just think of all the other Land Rover things that will have to be changed.In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

My dealer told me the exact opposite when I asked him outright if there was to be a brand change of the D3/D4
But then my dealer also told me to sit tight for a year after the D4 was launched to allow all the gremlins to be ironed out before considering trading up for one - so what does he know?
All the 'public' spyshots have shown Land Rover on the bonnet and on the side vents - the only bit of branding conspicuous by its absence is on base of the tailgate - s'pose this will read
My information came from a major parts supplier to LR.
Just thought I'd pass in on that's all.
