Ow' can that happen it's only just on the road. It's like the Car of the Year awards at the start of the year on a new model that ain't even been out yet.

Just a thought...but is it worth having a seperate category on the site for awards, so we can keep track of what superb vehicles these are and how they have been recognised. it would also be useful to be able to point those who come on here asking questions to be able to back up our biased views, with the information of the awards that have been given I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

I think this is why it won the award ...
"The Discovery 4 won the ‘Best Towcar Over £32,000′ class and the ‘All Wheel Drive Over 1800kg’ category, beating the likes of the Lexus RX450h, Mercedes Benz E and C class, Volvo XC70 and XC60 and the Isuzu Rodeo. The testing was carried out at Millbrook Proving Ground to determine the car’s towing ability, dynamics when hitched, acceleration and braking"

Land Rover obviously didn't enter it, they didn't when it was launched either. I guess it doesn't fit the market and image of the car. DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
