    If those are the gearboxes I think they are, they are automated manual gearboxes. A little different to a torque converter auto.

Im pretty sure the new 8spd Amarok dont use first gear unless needed they normally start off in second unless you hit the off road button or it really needs it. I could be wrong but i think thats what the salesman told me.

    My 12 year old bmw325 auto doesn't use 1st unless you use the stick in s mode
    Then you get a big grin

    So now it's been launched and is on the landrover websites.
    2.2 diesel. 6sp manual or 9sp auto (in the UK at least).

    The most interesting thing is the mention of air suspension on this page under standard ride height (not sure if link will work): Build your Discovery Sport - Preview Vehicle

    Evoque didn't get air suspension.

    Air suspension - if that's true then given it's weight, the DS has the potential to be one of the most capable LR's ever made, assuming the gearing is short enough in the lower gears.

    The leaked photos in the lead up had coil springs - and the blurbs talk about some new rear setup that eliminates the suspension towers so they could fit the. 3rd row seats.
    It definitely would be a great car if it had eas

    By "trick" you mean pushing the button that's marked "up".
