The new concept car from Land Rover - the LRX - is supposed to actually go on sale next year. I heard it borrows a lot of its look from the Insight - sort of seems like it, and then kinda a stretch - anyone agree with this?

details on Land Rover LRX concept

Yes! Exact same number of wheels!

That's what I should of said

I wish I would of thought of that retort when talking to the guy who suggested the idea to me originally...

 

[CraigCA]

Yeah, ummm, I don't see it.

It looks like a combination of the Prius and the uglier concept version of the Volt to me. Big flat front like a fist against the wind. I've never understood the back-end-up style and most cars that do it, only do that a little bit but this one does it to an extreme. I think the only car that I've seen where that actually looked good as a style was the Mid-90's Saturns but their trim upturned and not the whole back end. I don't like the look of this, but to each his own as most don't like the look of my car either as they wouldn't have a car with skirts if it wasn't on a Cadillac.

If it is a Land Rover it will be the laughing stock of the Car Industry, it wil break down, again and again and again and again

That's "character". My Insight has "no character". It just goes and goes without problem -- how boring.

The Range Rover is still my "lottery car". It is my understanding each one comes with a Mechanic/Technician who rides in their own vehicle behind you where ever you wish to go. I really want one of those Safari one's with the spare tire on the hood and winches on all four sides. Guessing you can't buy them here in the States. :drink40:

To me it looks like Ugly on four wheels. The body shape is a bit contrived, but it's the wheels and grille that really say "ugleee!!!" to me.

if anything, to me, it looks like a 2 door ford flex thats has been shrunk a bit.

Besides, its a concept car. I fully support any company that wants to bring high mileage and hybrid technology to the roads....but will this ever be put into production? Time will tell...
