Some guy we don't much care for on rangerovers.net claims that, as of an unspecified build date, all Sport trims (as a reminder, in the US we only get 4.4 liter HSE and SC, no diesels, S, or SE trims) are getting SC exhaust tailpipes installed as standard equipment. Can any insider verify if this is the case? 

I have been following the thread over there Umberto........................ haven't heard anything. We will know in September when the 2007MY hits the roads here. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I saw a brand new, white HSE rolling off the Land Rover Encino (California) dealership lot this afternoon - I was next door on a business call. Sure enough, the car had the round Supercharged tips sticking out the back... I hate to admit it, but this guy (an employee of a Land Rover dealership in the US) might be right. And it may be happening now, before the MY07 comes out. 

Why would LR do that? To make the SC even less desirable? What next, super charger badges on non super charged models? Or the grills and side vents? 2006 RRS Silver/Black

Few months back i was at a dealer lot in Northern Cal and there the same thing: HSE's with SC pipes - standard fitted by LR. - Robert

Well, now we know why... Future Sport S/C will only come in SHT trim (that's how it should be called, anyway), so there will be no mistaking that blingmobile for a classy, normally aspirated or diesel Sport... It's LR's way of telling current S/C owners " you and thanks for your business!"
