My order will be placed on coming October please do not ask why
so definitely it will 2007 model
I hope we could see new color for new year...bigger supercharged
to push it for 400 hp plus..ACC-Adaptive Cruise Control with switch between
normal cruise and adaptive, push bottom start switch, less technical issues, like vibration, faulty messages and air suspension faults
I hope to have it with fully aluminum body for less weight similar to first old land-rover and current Jaguar

Interesting Sportman.

Personally, I think what you say is absolutely spot on. S/C engine is capable of delivering a lot more power than it does at the mo.

The only fly in the ointment is aluminium body. Aluminium = £££££ but the pay off is obviously less weight. Yer pays yer money... Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

06 RRS TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony, PTI, Running Boards, Privacy, S/C Grille/Vents, Stormers, Tasmods - GONE - (

Contacted dealer today and went with the 2007 model. Apparantly extras are the telephone integration system, centre console cooler box and something about a diffuser or along those lines not to sure as I wsa very busy at the time.

Asked about the V8 and she rang Landrover directly, they said it would be another couple of months before the spec and prices would be released and depending on launch I could possibly face a wait till next year for delivery.

Although on the bright side she has registered my interest and if it turns out different from above will change my order directly to the V8.

I have to decide whether to order a 06 or 07 S/C soon. Are there any differences like mild facelift or so? Does the 07 have anything more as standard that the 06 doesnt? pls let me know its quite urgent

Based on Tonys post above, it sounds like a few hundred quids worth of goodies (PTI is a must!)

I don't think they'll go in for radical changes in terms of a facelift but a diffuser? That sounds intriguing....

The big deciding factor in all this is how quickly you want your car!

If you want it sooner then get '06

If you are happy to wait a bit longer then get your order in now for an '07 model.

If you were to sell your car on, an '07 would probably be more attractive to a buyer than an '06.

I'm afraid it seems as simple as that. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

My local dealer is clueless. Thinks there will be no changes

Sapkan, I will be one off customer if there are no added extras, otherwise I might as well throw a couple of grand down the toilet.

I'll check it ou t in the morning as the owner of the dealership is back to work now.

I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if they throw in the PTI & cooler for the 2007MY - means they'll have to stick something extra into the SC where they're already standard kit. Don't know as if they need to get excited about diffusers though. Given the HST, their attempt at "sportifying" a car hasn't been very successful.

my dealer said he would give me the same price for the 06 and 07 car but I would have to wait an extra month for the 07. I wont bother as November seems too far away

I was told that the price increase will be £2735 (tdv6 hse)for cars registered after September 1st just because Land rover can sell as many sports as they want anyway. 2014 Nara Bronze SDV6
GONE TDV6 HSE RRS in Giverny green,Ebony interior, Side steps,Tints, PTI, Tow pack, mud flaps, Side strips and Dynamics pack.

Confirmed with dealer today and the 2007 model will have the added extras:

Dynamic Pack
Centre console cooler box
Telephone (Bluetooth) intergration

So taking into account the cost of the Dynamic pack it's not bad value.

Worth the price for the cool/beer box alone! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

So what would the Supercharged get for the extra money?

Bob. RRS 4.2 S/C. Zermatt. Tints. Stormers. 150+ paint defects, wonkey bonnet, scratches, detached doorseal. suspension faults. To sum it up, a �60k pile of cr4p!

Good point.

Probably have to whip a couple of items from the FFRR, I suspect. Reversing camera? I'd be happy just to have a clock somewhere you can see it!

My mum's 1984 Rover 213SE even has a clock like that. It's not rocket science is it.... it's not like LR have overlooked clock location in all their cars - the wife's FL has a clock that everyone can see perfectly well. Why the RRS clock got hidden away on the audio display I don't know.
