Are they not commercial any more?

No Basic 90/110 Van HardTop and 2 seat options now??

Only 3 versions of the 110 station wagon available at the moment with the 1st delivery dates next spring.
Just had my land Rover guy on the phone and he says the 90 station wagon and then the Commercial ones will be released in the future.
He agrees with lots that the new Disco 5 is to expensive and this will be a good replacement for the Disco 4 .
We will just have to wait and see what they price the commercial ones at .
 
Looks like a Skoda Yeti but bet it wont be as reliable as one, not for me thanks.
We have "his and hers" old Skoda estates and a farm Discovery. If we want to get somewhere 400 miles away without giving it a thought, we hop in the Skodas.
If we want to get to a show 50 miles away with the trailer, I take the Disco but start planning days ahead in case of any eventuality. :)
The thought of driving the Disco to South Africa as our neighbour did in his Series one LR with a small store of parts would leave me a gibbering wreck.

Can't see there being any demand for disco 5 now. LR also seem to have a problem with rear end styling - not sure about this but still better than disco 5.

If you are in that market - I like this way more than the disco. But not sure where this leaves the Disco - latest version hasn't been that loved. I imagine Defender will decimate its sales.

So funny seeing all the reviews coming up on YouTube and they all start the same with the reviewer coming out of the woods to the same 2 vehicles parked in the same spot.?

It was a long time coming......and not what we really wanted
I believed the hype that it was going to be a workhorse. It isn't, it seems aimed at the 'leisure market' once more
No I don't go surfing, mountain climbing, exploring or wading. Has anyone seen an ad yet with a farmer, soldier or other worker centre stage?
We've missed the bus :(
