    Reversing Camera Tram Line Overlay

    I have a 2011 Lux with Vision Assist Package and the lines are active. Maybe it's only included with the VAP? It's a great feature and should be included with all of the trucks that have the rear camera, since it doesn't really cost them anything to add it. What would be the point of passive...

    Aintree Green

    Personal preference. Black interior gets much hotter and shows light-colored dirt. Also, if you had yellow labs (like me), you wouldn't even consider a car with black carpeting in the back. My almond interior stays pretty clean.

    2012 LR4 at Cost—anyone get a deal on their 2012?

    dp - can you post a pic of your window sticker? this rear locker issue is confusing. Maybe you also have the HD package but forgot to mention it or didn't realize it?

    Should I Go For It?

    That depends. If there is a Toyota (or similar) dealer down the street, get a Land Cruiser. You didn't tell us if there are any viable options that are much closer. Even if your car is a gem, you will have to take it to the dealer occasionally - or more.

    2012 LR4 at Cost—anyone get a deal on their 2012?

    That's interesting. So the rear locker is now part of the HSE package? The problem I had was finding an HSE with the heavy duty package. Wound up buying a LUX just because it had the HD package.

    Factory roof rails & Thule rack fit kit quirk

    Yakima has been selling the landing pad/control tower kit for years. I'm not aware of any issues regarding its durability, but I can see where some people would believe, psychologically, that metal will be more durable. In real life, many of the metal parts on all of my Thule roof racks have...

    Factory roof rails & Thule rack fit kit quirk

    Nick - thanks for taking the time to monitor your customers. As I said before, I've been a loyal user of Thule racks and add-ons since 1994 when I bought my first car (a Saab). You should read my post above. The Yakima design is far superior. It's pretty surprising.

    2012 LR4 at Cost—anyone get a deal on their 2012?

    I almost special ordered a 2011 LR4. My dealer wanted a "fully refundable" deposit before ordering the car. They claimed they would give the whole deposit back for any reason. Didn't make any sense to me. Anyway, it's your money. Unless the deposit is refundable for any reason (in writing)...

    Factory roof rails & Thule rack fit kit quirk

    Here is my post in another thread from earlier this year: http://www.landroverworld.org/forums/showpost.php?p=117003&postcount=17 After having owned Thule racks on my last 4 cars, I bought the Thule roof rack system with the fit kit for the LR4 factory rails. After trying to install it, I...

    2012 LR4 at Cost—anyone get a deal on their 2012?

    I'm sorry, I don't understand your point at all. I'm not commenting on jeans or a suit, and none of that matters. You tried to make a moral judgment that people shouldn't try to pay less than "cost" for their Land Rover on the ground that the dealer needs to make a profit. My point is that...

    2012 LR4 at Cost—anyone get a deal on their 2012?

    Your point would be a fair one if your premise were accurate, but it is not, so you might want to dismount from your high horse. When people say "cost," I assume they mean the invoice price. If you've ever had the opportunity to see the complex accounting transactions that take place...

    Personalized Tag

    I'm pretty sure everyone will be able to figure out it's a Land Rover even without the helpful vanity plates. Why not make it something more obscure?

    Early Christmas

    Very nice! How are the stock tires (Conti Contacts?) in that kind of snow?

    quirks

    On 2 occasions, the cameras gave me the "blue screen." On 2 occasions, the radio wouldn't work at all. On all occasions, the problems corrected themselves by restarting the car later in the day.

    Passive Entry Question - New to LR

    I actually like that feature. I wind up locking it from the other doors all the time, but maybe that's because I'm dealing with the kids in the back seat.

    2012 LR4 at Cost—anyone get a deal on their 2012?

    I got a 2011 LUX, HD Vision Assist (Black) for $59k. No special wheels or RSE. Did the prices go up this year? That still seems high.

    DIY Oil Changes

    That's all true. On the other hand, all they do is change oil, so they quickly become expert at it, and all of their equipment and the garage is designed to maximize the efficiency of the oil change process. I've had really good results with my local EZ Lube. I always use full synthetic...

    '12 to be delivered next week. Your thoughts?

    I decided to go with the HD package, even though they are really hard to find. I may never need it, but I'm also one of those "what if" people. Also, I figure it will help the re-sale value, since I can advertise it as "rare HD package." Also, I didn't really care about the Vision Assist, but...

    Do all LR dealerships provide a loaner vehicle when doing warranty repairs?

    OK - just had my car in for its first repairs (Santa Monica LR). The dealer gave me a Jaguar XF with 12,000 miles on it. There might have been other choices, but they offered the XF and I was happy to have it. The service department cashier is also an on-site Enterprise desk, and they process...

    Are places like Jiffy Lube or EZ Lube out of the question? That's where I've always taken my other cars
