I'm sure DS was launched in August, it had an online reveal then made its debut at the Paris motor show. With advanced orders not being delivered until March. Seems to be following the same pattern. 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

What do you mean exactly DG ?
Launch early August - do you mean shown to the public ?
Job 1 October - delivery dates...

Shown to the public, dealerships will get their showroom cars and demos with advanced orders start of the year. Dealers should have rough dates once the specs have been released. With the DS it was available on the builder the day after its online reveal. 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

I'm most interested in the engine options. Will we get petrol in the UK and when are the new six cylinder lumps due? 2014MY Discovery

Launch is usually reveal, press and dealer familiarity ...job 1 is formal production for orders. Launch location likely being in the Middle East. 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

I'm surprised LR haven't shown any teaser videos like they did with the DS. 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

It was always going to be this year, but I've been told advanced orders won't be delivered until early next year as per DS and Evoque.
So those of us that put deposits down may not be the first get them. 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

I would agree it has always been this year but many doubted this and thought next year at the earliest. MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

Are you tempted?
I'm not sure whether to keep my current one, upgrade to Landmark or continue with my deposit.
The Disco has been around for 27 years, will we see the third member for the 30th anniversary? 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Already Jay, you had a bug hit it.
If you are thinking of getting a Landmark, be quick, one dealer had twelve in stock ten days ago and they are now nearly all gone.

 the Landmark is about £50k with discounts perhaps less, that would probably get me into entry D5. I think I would rather have a tried and tested classic design and top end car for that money. My current SE is fantastic has everything I use nothing more so I wouldn't be dissapointed if I had to keep it. Plus my salesman is itching to get his hands on my one as he has a buyer willing to pay "strong" money he says, I will put that to the test.
My dealer has a limited number of 66 reg Landmarks coming, the very last of the line. I just wish LR would reveal the D5 then I can make the decision. 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green
