I'm looking ahead into the future and the price of fuel. Does anyone have information about the possibilities of switching out the 4.4 V8 with the euro TDV6 or even a Tdi- given that it complies with US emissions? Will it be possible in 5-10 years to import the engine to the states? I realize it might be costly. That way, I know there are options to run the LR3 on diesel, bio-diesel, veg. oil from the local restaurant or whatever else fits in there to keep it going...
Also, I've read that the Prius will have solar panels on its roof in the near future. What about an aftermarket idea to mount thin, photo voltic panels to the roof and hood of the LR3 that power the engine or components partially or completely....? just brainstorming the idea because I don't have plans to part my ride over the next 10+ years...
thanks. Any thoughts?
