Anyone any ideas of changes to Commercial? Am stuck between a 110 Utility XS or a D4 3.0 Commercial with rear seats (Atlantech or Scotseats). Can I live with the 110? Can I afford the D4? (I want to keep the G4 D3 as well). I was wondering if the Commercial gets any worthwhile changes that improve on the standard specification or is it just going to be new sexy stuff on the HSE kind of levels?
Cheers

Many thanks DG, at what point do you get the new model year if you order? If I order now will it be new model year?

Nothing official you understand ...but they normally formally announce new model changes in the summer with enough lead time for an early autumn release. I'm not sure you could place an order now TBH.21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Does that mean I need to listen to the House of Lords live?
"My Lords, I put it to this highest house that it is a statement of fact, no matter how confidential, that the 12MY Discovery will have a Jag-like pop up gear selector and that Fred Goodwin has a Commercial with a mattress in the back"

Craig,
i think you can order as of Monday but delivery won't be until October. The news on MY2012 is not released officially until early Jun 11.
I'm sure if someone went in to a dealer to order next week, they could get more information?1996 D1 (Legendary workhorse) - now KIA
2010 D4 HSE
I thought the embargo is lifted in early July The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us yet.

C'mon guys. Tuesday afternoon and still nothing more specific?
I'll be in Birmingham in a couple of hours, can you suggest a dealer near the airport where I should stumble in and ask them out about all those exciting changes?
Stratstones on the A34, Monkspath , Solihull or Guy Salmon on the A45 toward Coventry, both under 10min from the airport.
I personally would never buy from the former.

Thanks, will see if I can squeeze this in. No worries, the 2012 D4 is already ordered at a german dealer. I'm just curious to find what I actually have signed for (german dealer can't tell yet either).
