Geneva Preview: Land Rover LRX gets dressed up for Geneva

After showing us the Land Rover LRX in white at the Detroit Auto Show, Land Rover is back with a hot, black and silver version for the 78th Geneva Motor Show. According to Land Rover, the new LRX concept is ‘designed to highlight the concept’s suitability for contemporary personalization.’

Agree - really starting to grow on me. They should ditch the FJ-style different color roof though.

nice new design. something different. I like when companies try to take risks. high risk/ high reward potential on creativity.

It's nice but I would rather see a 2-door Range Rover instead from the company. Like the old 2-door county from Range Rover back in the 90's.

Its nice, but it doesnt really look like a Range Rover. It looks like a mix of all of ford's SUV products. Its got hints of a Lincoln, Ford Edge, Ford Bronco Concept a few years back, etc... Its not bad though...
