The interesting part being apart from a minor facelift the car will ship with the "new" 3lt (I think they said 185kw) engine accompanied by the 8 speed auto.

FYI

Good news that and I bet, as I said previously, it isn't that much more expensive than the previous 2.7 model.

Might be time for a D4 ...

cheers,

Just contacted southerns in perth about this and told them I will trade my 2012 in for the 8 speed. They said I will have to wait a few years as its not on the 2013 spec list.

But then again they have told me 3 things incorrectly since I ordered and received my 2012.

Fingers crossed you get the 8 speed.

Dunno................even the runout D4's that are around at the moment are a lot more expensive than the 2.7 was.

I'm talking about RRP not run out or year end sale prices. Every model sooner or later ends up having its share of sales.

Read the 2012 manual you cant tow an 8 speed, that was the reason I just got a 6 speed SE. Amazing car, absoletely love it.100km lol

Hi all

BenD4, you say there taking orders so have you received the 2013 specs and pricing or have you just secured your place in the first shipment.

Cheers Scott.

8 speed for all MY13 models. Same as the UK offering I believe: 155kw base and 180kw "SD".
Not sure if the base model (i.e. 2.7l replacement) can be ordered yet?

Hi Scott,

I placed my order and paid my deposit back in June stipulating I wanted an MY13 build but willing to accept 2012 compliance etc. The release of the MY13 was a little slower than the dealer expected but they called me on the 5th to say they had just been through a conference call with LRA and a bulk of other dealers and while they are still waiting updated broachers etc they are able to finally place my order with Land Rover.

They have promised to post me out more info once they receive it. I am looking forward to seeing the "facelift". I hope I like it.

HTH
