Here's a couple of articles with info about the 2012 LR4

So here's what I gather from these articles:
- No Diesel for the US - same V8 engine and 6 speed transmission as 2011
- Updated 7 inch touch-screen navigation system with Dual View and improved voice control
- new 17 speaker Harmon/Kardon Logic7 surround-sound system with built-in music storage hard drive
- updated information panel and gauges (did not specify what these are)
- revamped steering column stalks
- Bluetooth audio streaming
- wireless WhiteFire headphones
- Smaller key vob
- Updated rear entertainment system with USB input
- two new sets of alloy wheels
- new option packages (did not specify what these are)
- new exterior paint colors
Nah, pretty sure the virtual gauge LCD gizmo is still going to be exclusive to their flagship Range Rover, gotta make its owners feel special somehow! What I think they did is making the current TFT display between RPM and speedo gauges more useful (and perhaps larger), by including redundant info from the touchscreen such radio frequency / MP3 / iPod / Sirius XM channel information, turn-by-turn navigation arrows and directions, etc. In its current (2010-2011) form, that display seemed a bit of a waste of real estate space, so that would be a welcome improvement. The gimmicky LCD of the FFRR... Not so much.
