Fully & totally agree with you Steve about the interior / switchgear / 90’s era LCD displays & the ridiculous iPod integration set up of the RRS & D3.

LR really would want to get their act together. When I was looking around before switching from my previous RRS to the one I have now, I was both impressed & disheartened by the Audi’s interior setup.

Disheartened, as it made me realise just how behind LR are. The dash displays are not that far advanced from my ’95 300Tdi Disco & for an modern luxury car that’s just plain bad

Still though in the end I stuck with LR & bought another RRS. But TBH honest they (LR) would want to get it together, or I’ll have issue when it comes time to change again

Oh. BTW, there is a new, larger engine due for the D3, to the best of my knowledge it’s a 3.0 TdV6

Hmmm...

- Audi Q7 3.0TDI/4.2TDI
- BMW X5 3.0(s)d
- BMW X6 xDrive35d
- Mercedes ML320CDI/ML420CDI (has just been facelifted)
- Mercedes G320CDI (has also been 'facelifted'... )
- FFRR TDV8?
- VW Touareg 3.0TDI/V10 TDI
- Toyota Landcruiser 100 V8 4.5D-4D (also quite new)

I'm not saying that I like all of them, but they are good options

For me that list would narrow down to the Q7, X5, FFRR and Toerag. 

Q7 & FFRR voted high up in the Telegraphs ugly car awards. RRS 2.7 TDV6 HSE Zambezi silver,Alpaca.
