Land Rover, unable to keep a secret, shared with the world its LRX concept, which is set to debut at January's North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Smaller than the four-door LR2, the two-door LRX is described as a "cross-coupe." Naturally, it's loaded with all the usual Land Rover off-road hardware, including four-wheel drive, the excellent Terrain Response System, and Hill Descent Control. But with twenty-inch wheels and somewhat less ground clearance than its bigger brethren, this one has a definite on-road bent. The cabin — which features a clever docking station for the Apple iPhone — is simply gorgeous, with some of the most inviting seats we've ever seen and color-changing interior mood lighting — cool blue for normal circumstances, road-rage red for sport-mode driving, and green for "economy mode," whatever that means. Interestingly, the side glass and the transparent roof panel are made of polycarbonate to save weight, and the faux suede trim on the headliner and door panels are made recycled plastic bottles. So now you know where all those Dasani bottles go.
