    This absolutely will NOT be the smallest Land Rover ever - the short wheelbase Series I was only 11 feet long! The concept doesn't look remotely "itty-bitty baby" unless those are 15-inch wheels.

    "'wheel-at-each-corner' stance."
    Apart from 2 feet of curved bonnet and grille poking past the front wheels.

    Do I like its looks? Sort of. Am I afraid it'll become the Land Rover Compass? Yes.

    Partially recyclable? That thing should be instantly recycled. It is both uglier and less useful than a BMW X6. Normally I'm a staunch defender of tall wagons (softroaders/SUVs) but this thing is just an absurd exercise in extreme douchery.

    This will be perfect for everyone who has been looking for the poor driving dynamics of an SUV with the inconvenient size of a coupe for the price of a large luxury car. I'll take two.

    @trx0x: Because with rear seats the vehicle is meant to transport people... not cargo, therefore it is not commercial. Secondly, to the best of my knowledge, the "chicken tax" only applies to Europe, not the UK.

    This makes me miss the lightness, man(o)euverability, and great visibility of the Freelander. I guess the entire LR line is destined for bling.

    About time Tata started doing what Ford should have done long ago. Merge Jaguar with Land Rover properly. At least on the manufacturing side. Get Aston to play along too.

    Anyway, fail-o-tron 5000.
    Here's a real Land Rover owner's dream option list:
    -.50 cal machine gun mount
    -jerry-cans x 4
    -bonnet-bolted tire

    @damnelantra™: My father in law spent sixty-something thousand on a Mercedes about a year ago, then promptly discovered that it had an iPod interface in the glovebox. He bought an iPod the next day.


    I wonder if that counts as a "You're doing it wrong" event.

    As a Range Rover owner and Land Rover enthusiast I can say I expect nothing from this concept. I saw the Stormer with all it's amazingness, and it became that anesthesia on wheels that is the RR Sport.

    As a previous owner of a Land Rover, what I appreciate most about them is that you often sell them with relatively low mileage for the year.


    This is often due to the fact that they spend more time on a lift, than on the road, but all in all it is still a benefit.

    The ePRS (US Patent No. c11077983) provide us with this nugget of goodness:


    Land Rover, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Motors, has received a grant from Her Majesty's Government to build smallest, lightest, most efficient car ever, the Range Rover LRX.


    Land Rover promptly spent the grant money on a feasibility study and a big party in Dublin.
