Click above to view high-res gallery of the Land Rover LRX concept
Segments keep blending and niches keep growing. We don't complain, though, when the results are as stunning as the LRX concept. Land Rover brought a second version of the show car to Geneva in a sharp new black-and-silver paintjob that would be our first choice for arriving at the Academy Awards if they were held on the moon. Hopefully the LRX is less pie-in-the-sky than that, though, because we want one. Or two.
As sinisterly handsome as the carbon LRX looks from afar, the devil is in the details, which include such subtle modern touches as brushed-aluminum badging, grille, roof, vents and the like. And we like. Check out the images in the gallery below to see for yourself, and the details in our previous post.

According to this TTAC post the purchase of LE by Tata is in doubt.

I mean LR not LE. Sorry for the typo.

this is a lot better looking than the current land rover range. i sure hope they bring this into production.

Seems like some of the more creative LR designers got back from rehab!

too bad Ford is using a very similar design in their new Flex
it takes the image of the Land Rover brand down a notch

Is this the Land Rover Flex? Yuck.

If this goes into production I'm importing one of the very rare 2dr Land Rover Discoveries.
In North America that would probably turn almost as many heads as whatever the LRX would if it ever makes it into production when it's in production form (less wild looking).

I actually like this Land Rover. It's understated and actually doable for the current market. It's semi-unique too! I think it's a good mix! As-is! No mods!
Thoughts?

Other than the front end, I hate this car. I don't like the straight inclined profile and I loathe the opposing dramatic sloping roofline. Just looks awfully awkward.
