I don't believe the US gets any of the diesel engined models.
GODDERS! Go find a TD5 Disco and you'll have an awesome machine. The Freelander runs the TD$ as you know, boy if you could get a Freelander TD5.....
Not much I can do about getting a TD engine in the US. The Freelander imported here has the 2.5L V6 petrol engine and SportMatic transmission, that's it.
As I said, the Discovery is a larger vehicle than I needed/wanted. I can carry four passengers comfortably when I need to, and two people with more gear than I usually ever carry fit nicely in the Freelander. The Freelander fits perfectly in the same size parking space that my partner's Ford Escort or the BMW 330ci coupe I nearly bought does, and is far more useful than either... that's important.
