kharmael, the Disco Sport, Disco Junior od whatever it's going to be called, will not be a Freelander. It will be a slightly smaller Disco. The beauty of the Freelander has always been its smaller size.
Interesting stats:

Original ('70) Range Rover:

Wheelbase 100 in (2,540 mm)
Length 176 in (4,470 mm)
Width 70 in (1,778 mm)
Height 70 in (1,778 mm)

Original (2001) Freelander:

Wheelbase 101.0 in (2,565 mm)
Length 175.0 in (4,445 mm)
Width 71.1 in (1,806 mm)
Height 68.9 in (1,750 mm)

The current FL is bigger still...

Obviously cars get bigger generation on generation for various reasons, (some good, some bad), but jeez.
