(Starting price, low 40k's GBP, $73.4k AUD. from a previous story)

That’s more than a D5 starting price,so they say.

I knew it wouldn’t be cheap.

All smoke and mirrors I am sure.

Let’s wait for some facts

Probably, but it will be interesting if it does come out like a D4

If it doesn’t come with round headlight they cannot possibly call it a defender....I don’t get the link between series and defenders than alone the quantum leap now.

I can't fathom how an Epoke ever became a RR.

Thats LR's problem,they keep shifting their vehicles place in the market,into different classes.
The Discovery is a good example.Once a family touring wagon,now its virtually a RR.

As i have said before,the high selling brands keep their vehicle models in the same place in the market and have for years.
Their sales speak for themselves.

My local LR dealer, who had seen the new model some months ago, said that it had a centre dicky seat in the front. He said it looked and worked great.
He also said it had round headlights unlike the rest of the LR range...
Cheers,

I read a story a while ago that allegedly came from a source within LR that stated, they did some market research and found that if they attach the RR name to the epoke, that would allow them to charge a 15% premium over not utilising the RR name.
