Land Rover is really busy putting out these UK only special editions.  This time it’s the Freelander 2 that’s getting the treatment.  I actually don’t mind the Freelander or the LR2 as it’s called here in the States.  But after the big refresh for the other Land Rover & Range Rovers in 2010, the interior really needs an update – they’re still even using the old steering wheel.  But overall, it’s a comfortable vehicle that’s not bad to drive.

This Sport Limited Edition adds the usual interior & exterior tweaking where they play with the colors  on the exterior trim  (door handles, grills, vents, etc…) and add in interesting leather combos.  Wheels look good too, they’re 19” and called Shadow Chrome.  And I think I like the red interior trim strip on the dash as opposed to the faux wood trim – blacked out front grill also really gives the vehicle a stronger look, maybe it should become standard?  Enjoy.

RELEASE DATE: 00:01 2^ND DECEMBER 2010
