Have managed to drive 17 model (pre update) sdv8. Love the shove of the motor. When I was at dealer had stacks of new model but still in pre delivery. Love the sdv8 hse dynamics, but finally understand what you meant with price.... Within 10-15k of full size range rover. Pretty much settled on what options, still toying with the interior whether to go for the 22 way seats with massage,
As that also opens up different trims. I think it is what each person wants (there's no needs for rrs haha all want). I've had the ss Holden's and hsv's, merc v8s and love the sound, but it suited those cars. I'm still leaning towards sdv8, just because it has that power and more subtle engine note. Can be heard when you push hard but not a drone when cruising.
Settled on yulong white with black pack and 21" S9001 style wheels. Sliding panoramic glass, heated cooled seats, hse dynamic, red callipers, tpms, park pack.
Still need to drive an sdv8 and sdv6 back to back for final decision on motor and massage seats....again this would determine the interior colour. Most of the options are what I have on current discovery td6.
The only other option in contention is adaptive cruise. Have it on discovery, but had an epace loan car the other day with just std cruise. Had a drive and didn't miss the adaptive as much. Did you get it?
