Another temptation.
Just what we all need. The dealer was telling me that the Stormer will be the replacement for the soon-to-be phased out Freelander. The Sport and the Stormer may be competitively priced but surely, they will be much more than the Freelander. A common theme in the article in the most recent Land Rover Enthusiast had the Hodders, Newman, and Taylor in agreement that Land Rover has gone too far to the left in the technology department. The frighteningly complex cockpits of the RR and Disco 3 may be the wave of the future, but it's a wave that reeks of Asian and German luxury SUVs. This penchant for using technology simply because it's out there seems very distant to the core reason I have always enjoyed (love/hate) Land Rovers. Perhaps if I live long and age well, I may better appreciate the comfort and convenience of the new generation vehicles, but unless I have some nearly dead rich uncle I am, as yet, unaware of, I doubt I'll ever afford one.
