G'day all,
Got to see the new discovery 3 in the flesh yesterday as there are finally two available for the public to view here in Melbourne.Only the V8 was on offer at the moment.There are about twenty running around the country in the hands of the motoring press who are giving the new model quite a workout on and off the road.This new model is very square almost Volvo like and very stylish with huge rear tail lights and looks too classy to venture off road.The air suspension is unreal as the car is automatically lowered for entry and then raises for travel,and then if travelling at high speed will lower again.The second and third row seats are trick as they fold completely flat to make a flat floor in the back two metres long and with the tail gate up it almost resembled my HQ panel van from 1973.The motoring press had given the V8 a hard time and apparently as stated on the trip computer it had returned 15/100 and the diesel 12/100 but this V8 sounded smooth like a commodore not grunty like an 8.Love it or hate it there will be plenty running around on April 1 when the cars are released to their new owners as plenty of orders are being taken.
cheers mark
