Auto Spies on LR3

Auto Spies has some new press photos and some pricing rumors today.

After looking at all the photos it looks a bit like Nissan had some influence. There was no mention of the diesel in the price structure. I would only buy one if I could get it in the 3.7L CDI. I might have my Disco II paid for buy the time it arrives.

From the looks of it (3rd pic down from top) There might actually be some room for articulation. I can't wait to see what this beast does off road. My opinion may be swaying slightly. I guess only time will tell. Besides, by the time someone throws down 50g's for a new one, drives it to the grocery store once and back, puts it up for sale, it should depreciate enough for me to afford it!

And now pricing isn't a rumor anymore. See this press release from Ford.

There has got to be an engine somewhere under that plastic.

Land Rover North America today announced U.S. pricing for its all-new SUV, the LR3. The manufacturer's suggested retail price for the SE model will be $44,995, while the HSE model will retail for $49,995. All models will feature Land Rover's innovative Terrain Response? technology, a powerful 300 hp V8 engine and the Range Rover-inspired, four-corner, cross-linked air suspension, solidifying LR3's outstanding on and-off-road performance.

From what I read and heard during my last dealer visit, this thing is a computer with a Jag motor attached to it. All the techno gadgetry seemed really cool. But you would be ass out on a trail when a computer goes down and AAA can't reach you.

Wait a minute......I drive a D2....I would also be ass out if I lost a computer
