Guess I must be the only one who does not like the new HSE wheels!
Maybe I will get used to them and enjoy the easier cleaning but I might ask the dealer as to what else I could have.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

Interesting choice of tyres on the 19" too? Conti's?

And the interior shot shows an old style lever rather than knob for the gearbox?

Old style for you guys in Europe... Across the pond in North America, no gearbox knob, no paddle shifters and no 8-sp transmission with the V8 petrol engine, which is the only flavor of LR4 you can buy here. It must be an interior shot of a NAS model.Umberto B

i never really took to the firenze red, but now with the 'black design pack' combination .......it looks very good. Funny how a slight trim modification changes the whole look of the car.
It is now a toss up of the red or white with 'black pack' for my new order

Umbertob was commenting on the post by The Transformer who referred to the photo having the old style lever and was rightly pointing out that it may be old style in the UK but in the USA where he is, it is still the current style as LR don't fit the 8 speed gearbox and Drive Select (rotary knob) to the petrol engined Discovery.

We don't have Discovery's, we have "El-Are's". The genius of American marketing at work.

Markate, if you read it again it doesn't read the way you think. Doesn't matter though - I still think the MY13 looks pretty good. Some nice upgrades in the evolutionary sense

Steve - see what you mean I think.
I agree the upgrades do look nice - looking forward to playing with a MY13 when we get one at work.

Uh... No, that's exactly what it was meant to read. Old style for you in Europe maybe, but for us in NA that lever stick thingie is as state-of-the-art as the LR4 gets.
I modified my order this morning, adding some of the new goodies for a NAS 2013 LR4 HSE Lux, they gave me an order number and an estimated build date of 11/16/12, delivery 01/13/13... We'll see. Configured Vehicle Specifications - No prices available on all these options yet in North America, according to the dealer here.Umberto B
