Here's a link to the US Land Rover LR2 introduction.
http://www.landroverusa.com/us/en/Ve...2/overview.htm
There's a lot of information here if you take the time go go through it. Among the interesting items are:
No diesel in the US
Six speed automatic tranny on the 3.2 litre inline 6 - no mention of lo range
Coil spring on strut independent suspension all around
Four wheel disk brakes
Electronically controlled center diff with adaptive locking
A whole lot of electronics in the drive line: ABS, 4ETC, HDC, stability control, roll-over mitigation
Four position "Terrain Response"
Approach and departure angles > 30 degrees
Greater than 8 inch minimum ground clearance
Lots of luxury amenities - will be interesting to see how they spread out over the trim levels
I kind of like it. Although it won't be a hard core off-roader, I think it will be a better all around expedition/road trip vehicle than the original Freelander. That gold color is the last one I would choose, however.
I can hardly wait to test drive it!!
