    Official 2014 Changes to LR4

    ...or they go out of business and die a slow death by a thousand cuts. Losing its unique identity is always a risky proposition: especially if you start competing with Lexus(their reliability and dealership experience typically being a wide margin above LR/Jaguar) or the germans

    I can't believe they kept this LR2 abomination

    Do we like the Black package on Corris Grey?

    This is what I would have ordered if I was doing it now (with 20" wheels). This is the best color combo, IMO

    Audio Upgrade

    I was tempted to on a few occasions, but after hearing horror stories about how it could potentially mess up your electrical system, cause all sorts of nasty gremlins and invalidate the warranty, had to abandon the idea. Harmon K is alright but definitely not great, but then given that all music...

    HELP! Should I be paying a RAG fee?

    Oh, great...now in addition to exorbitant doc fees( that I've seen as high as $795.00) they are trying to add RAG...wouldn't pay out of principle

    Literally about to pull trigger and purchase 2013 LR4 in LA

    it is a good deal on this color, as inventories are shrinking and most are in black and white. Go for it, or you'll be sorry

    2014 LR4 - Confirmation of no changes?

    Meridian sound system on MY14 LR4

    Strangely, the sound of the same audio company varies on different models. Mark Levinson on a Lexus 330 was rotten with no bass, yet it was superior on the LX570. Lesson learnt: can't assume anything unless I listen to the sound with my own ears, audio brand notwithstanding

    Meridian sound system on MY14 LR4

    I've listened to Meridian home components: they are a rather nice mid hifi brand. Which doesn't mean a whole lot in car applications, in my experience,since there are many different factors different from home listening environment. It seems that a lot of audio companies have ventured into this...

    On the subject of warranties

    The cost of warranties is what the market could stand and the customer would pay. That said, a loaded LR4 cost today about $20-25,000 more than a Volvo V70R back in 2006

    On the subject of warranties

    I was offered a similar 7/85k warranty for $4000.00 two years into my car ownership: the longer you own the car, the higher the price

    On the subject of warranties

    Third party warranties are notoriously vague, and LR factory backed extended warranties don't exist, as far as I know. Make sure whatever warranty you get is "exclusionary", i.e. it clearly spells out what is NOT covered

    Newest 2014 rumors?

    Land Rover is trying to make its way from the niche market into mainstream and is in fact losing its identity and heritage in process. That puts the company into the same luxury segment with the germans and the japanese. Given the LR's less than stellar reliability record, it is going to be...

    Insurance for LR4 & RRS

    I'd get the VIN numbers in advance and get quotes. Then call the one you choose from the dealership at the time of car pickup.

    Dealer: 2013 production for LR4 is over. No changes for 2014.

    It is a good thing that no drastic changes are planned for 2014: that means my "11 will continue to look current, as opposed to the full size RR and 2013 RRS that somehow already look ancient; and I don't even like the new body style:confused:

    Opinions on color

    I did look at Indus silver and under certain lighting it looks funky: sort of baby blue. It's too bad the discontinued Zermatt, non-offensive as it was

    Opinions on color

    It is an extremely sharp looking truck, but ...wow!...the price is simply mind-boggling:ahhhhh:

    Opinions on color

    I've been toying with an idea of replacing my LR 4 with an Aintree Green RRS...there's one floating around nearby, but this green isn't dark enough for me; so it looks like I'll miss the bus again

    Opinions on color

    It was slightly different: a combo of yellow and green, more like mustard. It looked awesome on my Volvo, but wasn't very popular with anyone but die-hard Volvo aficionados; hence I got a $6k discount when i bought it. When I traded it for something else, the used car manager who did the...

    Opinions on color

    It's all about money, as always. Niche colors (i.e. any color other than safe shades of white, black and silver) won't sell well. Back in the day I owned an S70 Volvo in desert sand?(the ugliest shade of yellow/green) or something like that. It looked cool to me but when I traded it, the color...
