Reply With QuoteNot sure what is going on Searover. Even places like tyre dealers are noticing the change from Landcruiser.

Gone and done it! just ordered D4 TDV6 SE Izmir blue with e/diff HDD NAV OFF-RD Mapping and upgraded audio system.
Not confirmed but dealer expects 6 months for delivery, which makes it December delivery 2010 compliance plate, if i want a 2011 compliance it could be a 9 to 10 month wait.
Whats going on with deliveries? is the the D4 now so sort after they will be as common as LC200 Toymotas in a couple of years
Cheers
Still here and waiting.

Around town,i recon they are as common as each other,but in the country it is a one horse race.
Some people also can't put up with waiting 6 months for a vehicle either.
Anyway,good luck with the D4,whenever it eventually arrives

Funny you should mention the country scarry.
Last year, my dealer sold 60 D3's to the Northern Territory police dept.

The NT Police were actually replacing the 100 LC's. Looked at the 200 but went for the Disco

To me that's the same as saying a BMW M3 is as common as a Ferrari. I just don't get it! On/Off road performance aside...Around town,i recon they are as common as each other,but in the country it is a one horse race.

I might be a little (a lot) biased but even the Lexus Landcruiser just doesn't have the 'presence' or individuality of a Land Rover. Is that volume of sales or is it something more? I recon regardless of how many LR sell, the Disco just stands out!
As I said, I think I'm a little biased.

I must admit that I am also a LR fan and after buying mine, seemed like everyone had one, however when I had LC's I used to notice them???

Looks is one thing but based on what I have read the 'feel' of a car is much more than the quality of your dampers. It comes from the intelligence and engineering quality of the chassis, and that is how much time and money and effort was put into all the little holes, folds, bends, cuts, lips, chamfers, and intricacy of the base chassis. I dont know how much the LC200 cost to make, but the commodore cost 1B the falcon 500m and the 2003 RR 1.6B which to my knowledge is still the most expensive chassis ever made.To me that's the same as saying a BMW M3 is as common as a Ferrari.

A porsche dealer once told me most designs cost 1b to develop so the RR was a lot more at 1.6. And it makes the commodore look expensive compared to the falcon because commodore with curtain airbags got a 4 star safety rating (the first series) compared with the falcons 5 star without curtain airbags, so the intelligence in build is very important as the falcon was half the cost and really just as good a car.
So in conclusion a LR feels better than a toyota to drive, and its presence comes from how it sits on the road, somthing that toyota for some reason cant emulate as its certainly more than badge deep, it could be either they spend more money, or they make some good design decisions.
