I searched the threads, googled into the corners of the net, and called a couple of different dealerships for information on whether we'll lose the V8 in 13 or 14.
Well, without playing on opinion, I found zilch. Lots of opinions, no fact. I finally decided to add up the opinions and take the average. I now agree that we will not see any real changes in the 2014 and that the V6 may not even make it until 16. Who really knows.
So I 1/2 decided to trade it my 2011 for a 2013 regardless of what the rumors were. As much as I love my landrover, I truly hate the navigation/audio system and every time I use it, it just ****** me off. Saturday morning, I went down to my dealer and completely went through the 2013. No visual differences in the truck at all, except for the Nav/audio system and the compressor. I priced up a red truck with arabica/Cream interior with the black pack and all of the options. Priced out at $65 and he told me he'd take $2500 off MSRP. Yes, they're still taking orders on 2013.
After I got home, I took one look at my LR4 and realized that I'd be insane to pay that kind of money for a Nav system. It's not about the money, its about common sense.
NO 2013 for me, I love my truck and I'm keeping her. I am however planning a few serious adjustments to the system, but that a story for another time. Dont get caught up in the hype or fear. If you love your LR4 today, you'll love it tomorrow. Ciao.
