How come Land Rover is calling the series 3 Disco the LR3?! It's still called the Disco every where else except North America! :(

The only thing I don't like about calling it a Series III is when I search for parts on ebay for my old truck, I get too many matches of new discovery parts. Even though I've told it to omit "Disco" matches, many Disco owners are just calling their trucks Series Is and Series IIs, and now Series IIIs... :wink:

Why not Discovery 3

Well, it's nothing like the older and current Discovery.

More importantly Landrover decided that the Discovery has a bad name in North America. Seen any JD powers reports in the last 9 years???

Later,
Don
