I really hope they start it closer to 30k but with only one trim level I would not be surprised if it was closer to 35k.

Thanks for posting all these updates, british_rover. Appreciate that. I assume you're a dealer?
 
I thought the LR2 has been around in Europe, and we're getting the Yank version of a proven vehicle. But then you mentioned pre-production models in your 9/26 post. How queasy should I be with a first-year model? And from LR, which doesn't really dominate the usual quality ratings here?
 
Pricing in the mid $30K range sounds OK. $40K seems like LR3 territory and at that point I'd be tempted to go back to Jeep when my current lease is done this summer. Low $30K = a winner here.

Well the LR2 will go on sale in November for all of europe. The North American market will not get one till April of 2007. That gives them a good six months to get any kinks worked out in europe before it comes here.
 
We ordered five LR2s this past Tuesday and we will get those cars the first part of April.
 
Yesterday there was a grassroots meeting for Land Rover dealers and my GM got a chance to sit in and walk around the LR2.
 
In his words the quality of the materials and fit/finish of the vehicle nearly matches that of the Range Rover.

OK, that sucked, there was NO LR2 on display. I was very much looking forward to seeing it in real life tonight. I even thought the LR page mentioned that the LR2 would be at the seattle show. I guess however since the LR2 won't even be state side for 6 more months they decided not to include a sample vehicle.
 
LAME!

We are not getting one for our auto show in Hartford either. They don't have enough in country right now for all of the auto shows so it is only going to major markets.
 
Right now there are only five in the whole country.

Thanks for compiling all of that. I had meant to do it days ago but it has been to busy at the end of the month.
 
Tambora Flame is the orange color that you missed.
