New for 2010, the 2010 Land Rover LR4. Edmunds has a First Drive up. "The 2010 LR4 has also made a large leap forward to meet the expectations its well-heeled buyers have for modern electronics. This Land Rover offers keyless push-button start, an electronic parking brake, a fully integrated iPod connection that is fully operable via greatly improved steering controls, Bluetooth and hard-drive-based navigation."

Replying to: britman4 (Aug 24, 2009 6:54 am) Bad dash layout Under-powered (I have the HSE, and at 300hp, it's still not enough to move this heavy thing around) Lower-quality seating than is available in the RR line Strange memory seat button location Crappy, slow GPS interface (LR4 looks like it is the one from the LR2/Jag - much better!) Crappy wood option (I ordered the wood fascia on my LR3, and was never told it was actually plastic!! Bad sales job, LR) The things I really like about it are: Bigger motor cleaned up interior REAL wood trim cleaned up front grille with RR style slats Proper ipod integration Push button start Things I don't like: Cheesy Audi-esque LED surrounds on the headlights. Things I wish it had: The Supercharged engine as an option If you get the bullbar, that you get to keep the park sensors in the front Better third row seat finish (looks like glue on wood board - very cheap looking... try looking at the Mercedes GL class third row for inspiration if you want to copy something) Keyless start (proximity key, similar to the Porsche Entry and Drive system) More options for interior colours - only TWO?? Come on now, LR.. you can do better than that. What about a nice tan or baseball glove leather option? Spare tire carrier on the rear bumper, not under the rear.. (I've had issues offroading and getting it banged up) Cheaper offroading Accessories. (To do one of these up for semi-serious offroading you need to spend 15k minimum on top of the price of the car)

Replying to: dandrews1 (Aug 24, 2009 7:10 am) Also their is an aftermarket solution for the spare tire carrier. A company makes a swing away holder that attaches to the frame behind the back bumper. Its expensive though. Cost is over 1,000 dollars plus installation

Replying to: british_rover (Aug 24, 2009 7:24 am) You should see the bumper on my Defender... lotso scrapes all over that thing from that exact situation.... I've seen the after-market thing for the tire you mention - not sure I trust something that drills through the bumper right on the corner - it doesn't look like it would support the weight properly...

Hi. What's a fair price to pay for one of the new LR4s? Thanks.

I think the updates look nice on the new LR4. I sure wish they offered a diesel as an option. Personally, I won't pay MSRP for anything (ok, I did pay MSRP for my CR-V to pull behind the Dynasty). But, Honda's have a good resale value. I can wait a year on the LR4 if the price is not right.  (Currently a 2006 LR3 HSE). Mark
