Roland Perry ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying :

eg: LR Disco 14'10" x 5'11"

Umm, no. Not the current one.

Ford Mondeo 15' 5" x 5'11"
Merc E series 15' 9" x 6' 5" A foot longer and 6" wider!!!

Let's keep to the facts...

LR Disco - 15'10" x 6'3 - and, at up to 2.7tons, one whole ton heavier than
an E-class.

Shifting all that lard means that there's nearly 100g/km more CO2 emissions
than the E-class, too - or almost the same difference as the *total*
emissions from one of the more efficient small diseasel hatches (up to
Astra/A-class/A2-size, 120g/km is not unusual).

The Disco is so obese that it's nearly half a ton heavier, in fact, than a
LWB 4.5ton Merc 416CDi Sprinter van. Almost twice the weight of the Mondeo.
Heavier even than a Rolls Phantom. Roughly the same weight as a 6ton Merc
Vario 614 large van...
