Here's how this works. They are not a high volume manufacturer, so the usual laws of supply and demand that apply to first editions of things like mid-engined Corvettes and Toyota Supras don't exactly apply here. Land Rover Dealers get an allocation based on their market size and sales volume...

They take orders, you know. Spec it how you like it. That's how I got my Disco....

Land Rover isn't Ford or Toyota. Corporately they are forbidden from making such markups because there are so few dealers and they know customers will shop around - JLR NA keeps a pretty tight rein on the dealers. My dealer plays it straight - you'll pay MSRP and get any discounts they're...

As has been the story for Land Rover since forever. They've never been cheap off the lot and never will be, that's not Land Rover's market.

If you spend $80,000 for a base model Defender then you've been ripped off by about $20,000 after tax and title.

The outgoing Defender was expensive in the UK. The 1997 Defender that was last offered in the US was the equivalent of over $75,000 today off the lot. There will be commercial versions but not likely in the US.

Not yet, but the 90 will have a soft top sunroof option, supposedly.

A thousand times, yes.

No diesel *yet* for the market. At launch NA just gets the gas engines. Car and Driver says LR told them one of the 4cyl Ingenium diesels will come to the US eventually. I wonder if JLR has given up on the 6cyl Ingenium turbodiesel....

Configurable Terrain Response option also controls the locking behavior.

OK, so after a couple days of reading everything and playing around with the configurator, here's my take: - Wish they'd put the 90 on the configurator to play with that. In the past JLR has harvested pre-release configurator use to help determine how to equip factory build allotments. - I...

The pods may be containers for things like rotopax tanks or LR's own accessory tank design. Don't want to carry fuel inside the vehicle dude. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Tapatalk

There's supposed to be a 130 with something like 8 or 9 seats I think? Won't be released initially but will come later. Will probably be Suburban-sized. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Tapatalk

The JD Power survey where the RRS topped Acura MDX and the Audi Q7 in its first year of production on a new platform was a 3-year dependability rating, meaning they continually surveyed owners over those three years. It came out in 2017 for the 2014 model year. I participated in one for my VW...

Looks like a 110.

The old ones needed to be field repairable because the Lucas electronics magic smoke tubes kept springing leaks. If you build a more reliable vehicle with more durable alloys in critical parts and electronics backed up by hundreds of thousands of real-world test miles up to and exceeding the...

I don't know...it's still a Ford block I think on the SD6, just with an extra turbo instead of a variable-vane single turbo, so I'd be surprised if Ford would have let them brand it that way. We can't get the SD6 in the US. I don't think LR wanted to spend the time and money to certify it when...

There should be a new inline 6 turbodiesel. That one looks like the SD6 engine, which I didn't think carried the Ingenium branding. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Tapatalk
