When do the 2008 models come out?

Hi, I have enjoyed reading this forum so much over the last weeks. I test drove this car, and fell in love. Very Happy I am wondering when your new models
come out in England? In the states, they are selling the LR2 as a 2008, but I have heard there will be some
changes in the fall. I have been trying very hard to hold off buying in hopes that things like Home Link, new colors, covered console, etc will be added. Thanks for any insight on this.

@EM

Thanks for the link to the pictures. Was just what I was looking for.

According to the German Landrover site there will be a new color called "Caspian Blue Metallic".
See here: http://www.landrover.de/de/de/Vehicles/new...nImageNo=3

Since I can't read Russian, could I ask you to see if there are any pictures of that new color on the Russian Freelander Forum.

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you both so much for the reply. EM, your pics look great! I spoke with a dealer yesterday about
changes coming. He told me the console gets covered and some new colors.
He was going to research it more and let me know. In the states, we only get one model. I will
be anxious to hear from anybody else on the forum about changes coming. Thanks again.

Alex, Thanks for the colors. Guess I am heading to my dealer tomorrow to order the 2008 LR2, and not
wait on the newer one. The changes don't seem to be that noticeable. Fingers crossed.

The new colours aren't on the UK web site yet but they are on the display pallette in the UK show rooms. Tambora Flame and Whistler White have been removed from the display.
The caspian blue looks very nice - seriously thinking of that for when I place my order shortly.

That is good news. I hope the dealers here get new display samples soon. From the picture I am also very much inclined to go for it.

Did you by any chance find out what interior combinations are possible? The German brochure seems to list only Ebony and Alpaca which I think is odd (All other blue shades can be combined with Reef as well). I have the feeling they just replaced the Tambora Flame thumbnail and didn't double check the interior combinations. But maybe I am wrong.

Well, today I put a deposit on a loaded Storn LR2. It's supose to arrive this week from another dealer who has one. Guess that means I have officially joined the ranks of the Rover Lovers. Very Happy This site has been so helpful and informative for me during the decision process. Now the wait begins....... Rolling Eyes

Didn't ask about combinations as I'm minded to go with Alpaca. It will look great with the Caspian.

I see it also has "Alaska White" instead of "Whistler White", or was it always called that for the German market?
