So, I think it's growing on me. I like it from the side, the back so so, the front I'm still not sure of - maybe will look better with a decent bull bar on it. Like the front 3 seat arrangement - I've never been a fan of large consoles, so I think this opens up the interior IMO.
Looking forward to seeing one in person.
If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
Looks like a storage box on the side at the back hey.
Cheers
Well wowsers, somebody is going to be in big trouble for leaking that early, that was a bit more detail than i was expecting this morning.
Was speaking to someone that works for Landrover indirectly yesterday and he said he had seen it and was very jealous of my preorder and kept raving without giving details (NDA). (I can see now what he was talking about, very cool).
Kinda wish it didnt leak for LRs sake, but all publicity is good publicity I suppose.
Yeah, I was surprised by he limited engine options. I guess they are determined not to perpetuate the use of the current the V6 diesel and are not ready with the ingenium 6. Good news is the article did say it was rated to 3720Kgs. Also judging by the pics steelies will be available.
Cheers,
Sean

						The little diesel puts out as much power as the previous 3.0L SDV6 in a D4, and the 8-speed ZF is still a magic gearbox. According to the articles the tow capacity is increased to over 3700kg. Payload is also 900kg. This doesn't sound like a car that will struggle to take you and your stuff places. I'm keen for a test drive.
Don't get me wrong I like the sound of the small diesel.. and with that power it could tow it.. but I'd like to see a bit of low down torque for fuel economy and I wonder about a bigger engine having more longevity when doing lots of towing.. but yeah if its up to it that might be a good option.. my offroad van is 2.7t. I'd actually prefer the smaller diesel when not towing and I'm not in any great hurry when I am.
This is a torque curve i found online if its relevant.. looks pretty good..
