Drive the deal are offering about 10% of the SD4 GS and other MY11 cars.

Tenet MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

I notice from npinks spec sheet the seats are still only 6 way adjustable (even on the HSE now), sat in a volvo XC60 the other day, manual adjustment, but fully adjustable, and far more comfortable than the LR2.
Is the 150BHP auto slower than than current 160?

2wd FL will reduce the residual values on our cars.

It means that the entry level price for FL ownership drops - so if a buyer just aspires to the badge/image - they would rather buy a newer 2wd than our older 4wd. Then in order to shift our used 4wd - we will have to drop prices closer to the 2wd.

One thing I've noticed, on the interior shot of the blue car (I think, it does have fancy leather seats, more like the FFRR, with some rouching (if that's the right word).

Also, the steering wheel have the side panels where the buttons are, matching the dash strip, in this case it looks like "piano black" that's in the or LRs

Anyone notice the picture of the Blue facelift was an i6!

Obviously for the US market

Got a MY2011 brochure today.

Notice 'eD4' the 2WD alternative will NOT have HDC, Gradient release control or Terrain Response.

So apart from the higher driving position will not have any advantage over your average 2WD Quaschai!!

The brochure also hypes the car as having a 'new' engine - this seems to be limited mainly to a different Turbo - just for ref not all autos will be SD4's, Auto is still an option on the 150 ps engine.

I smell trouble brewin' !!

Someday all landrovers will not be the same...... They've just created an underclass in their own brand!! There's always a way forward!

2011 Freelander Td4 GS 150 - Rimini Red - in its place - Better x far x 4!!

Nah they haven't DrownedRat. LR has just adapted to a lasting and significant change in the market, and everyone including the supercar-brands will have to adapt to the fact that manufacturers are forced to cut emissions as best they can, or else the cars will be taxed to kingdom come.

As is the fact in Norway these days, and these policies will be enforced all over Europe, even in China, its just Africa/mid-east and the Americas - and Russia of course - where you seemingly can drive which ever gas-guzzler you can afford, without having to pay for it.

I don't know how things are with the Aussies and Kiwis, but I suspect that the inevitable will happen there as well..

Oh, and 2WD doesn't make the F2 a bloody 2WD Quasqai.... Have you seen the thing?  Leopard tank drivers never stop at anything.

Heres a few more photos of the facelift, kinda like the blue (presumably this is the new baltic blue colour?)











Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

I like that cream leather. That is exactly what I wanted when I got mine

I notice the Piano Black inserts on the steering wheel = very nice touch & steering wheel trim was another thing I wanted but why put Piano black there when there is none anywhere else?  (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

If the original Baltic Blue is the same as the MY11 Baltic Blue then the blue in the photos is not Baltic Blue. It looks more like Bali Blue which is one of the existing colours and is lighter than the dark blue of Baltic Blue.

LR website states 3 new colours for 2011MY, Fuji White, Kosrae Green and Baltic Blue. Must admit press photos dont look like the original Baltic Blue which had me puzzled (and still am, I think?)
