Proving once and for all that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/bmw\/\">BMW<\/a> doesn&#8217;t have the market cornered on psychedelic vinyl body wraps, the Indian-owned British SUV manufacturer&#8217;s answer to the CUV question was spotted busting a move on public streets. If you can look past the electrified coral reef patterns smeared all over the vehicle&#8217;s body work, it&#8217;s easy to see that this may be the most interesting thing to roll out of the brand&#8217;s tea-drinking consciousness in years.<\/p>\n<p>So far, we know that the LRX may or may not sail under a different name once it lands in showrooms next year. Whatever Land Rover decides to call it, the baby-ute should be available in both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/10\/report-fwd-land-rover-lrx-will-debut-in-paris\/\">front and all-wheel drive<\/a> flavors. That&#8217;s right, we said 2011 will bring a FWD Land Rover to the scene. If that&#8217;s not enough to put a twist in the knickers of brand purists everywhere, reports have also suggested that buyers will also be able to opt for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/23\/report-2011-land-rover-lrx-to-debut-at-paris-motor-show\/\">hybrid version<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So why are we so excited? This has to be one of the best-looking, most innovative models we&#8217;ve seen from Land Rover since England was still invested in crushing lesser cultures for the good of Queen and country. The LRX isn&#8217;t square, isn&#8217;t powered by a V8 and will actually attempt to address real-world concerns like fuel economy. Even better, judging from the short overhangs front and rear, the all-wheel drive version will possibly be able to keep up with its big brothers once the going gets off road.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-land-rover-lrx\/\">Spy Shots: 2011 Land Rover LRX<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-land-rover-lrx\/#2990171\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/01-lrx-spy-kgp-may_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-land-rover-lrx\/#2990172\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/02-lrx-spy-kgp-may_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-land-rover-lrx\/#2990173\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/03-lrx-spy-kgp-may_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-land-rover-lrx\/#2990174\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/04-lrx-spy-kgp-may_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-land-rover-lrx\/#2990175\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/05-lrx-spy-kgp-may_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/17\/spy-shots-2011-land-rover-lrx\/\">Spy Shots: 2011 Land Rover LRX stays true to the concept<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Mon, 17 May 2010 15:59:00 EST.
