Ah, there's two answers to that..
1) Some journo apparently thought the Freelander looked like a hippopotamus at the release show. The nickname has stuck and is used affectionately, mostly.
2) @Hippo is a revered (& lorded) member and ferociously partisan Freelanderer. He also likes a nap... and little birdies.

Tis nice ter see so many rufty tufty tratterers admiring Freelander's.
Tis true the original Freelander which later became known as the Freelander 1, was referred to as er hippo as a reporter made the comment at a lr advertising event it looked like one. So it stuck. Eye fink tis a good fing fer the Freelander 2 ter inherit the accolade.

Lr used it int their own advertising thereafter
Always wondered why they were called Hippos. Learn something new on LZ every day.
I would describe them as looking like a Toyota RAV, but with much worse build quality. I suppose it is understandable why LR don't use that in their advertising, though.
