You know, it's a funny thing. Although the media is supposed to be objective and, ultimately, the one single source of truth, it turns out that they're more often wrong than right. I guess that's why a site like this exists.
In recent months there's been chatter and even photographs of an all-new Land Rover concept undergoing testing. Dubbed the Discovery Sport, it's supposed to be a replacement for the way over the hill Freelander. But the more I look at it — and the more spy photos I see — it's becoming clear, at least in my mind, that this isn't an all-new model at all.
It looks like an Evoque to me.
Of course, it's covered head-to-toe in camouflage but the Evoque cues are there. One could surmise that it's merely an Evoque body cloaking an all-new chassis but I think there would be more irregularities in the wheelbase and other key areas.
The prototype seems to have more glass than the current-gen Evoque and if you look at its hind quarters, the dual-tipped exhaust is pushed way out to the corners. But is that conclusive evidence of an all-new product.
Not quite. Not in this spies' eyes.
BUT, what say YOU?
