Hey guys! Just surfin the net and stumble on this info. I just thought you might be interested... It's from Carpoint.

"Jolie Drives a Land Rover
OK, everyone in love with Angelina Jolie, take notice: The vehicle she drives in her upcoming movie, Tomb Raider, is on display at the Geneva Motor Show.

Stateside we must wait until June, when Paramount Pictures releases the movie, to check out this modified Land Rover Defender.

But Land Rover buffs won't be surprised to hear that Jolie—in the starring role of Lara Croft—uses her trusty vehicle to navigate remote and rugged locations.

Defenders aren't sold in the United States any more, but Jolie seems more than comfortable in her film vehicle, which was modified with aluminum tread plates and bumpers, a unique grille, four Safari headlamps glaring from a roof rack, and an expedition tool kit.

Jolie isn't the only one driving a Land Rover, by the way. The bad guys in the flick drive Land Rover Discovery vehicles, and Lara's archenemy, Powell, drives a Range Rover. Not to be left out is Land Rover's Freelander, a small wagon-like vehicle that will be coming to the U.S. this fall. It also has a part in Tomb Raider.

But sadly, we're told, the Defender still isn't returning to U.S. showrooms."
