What, a diesel in the good old US of A? Most un American and expect an executive order from Trump immediately banning such greenerie. That's not going to keep those new pipelines flowing and is going to cost American jobs!!!

So if most people in the US won't use the capability, why would LR expect customers to pay $30,000 + more for a D5 over an Explorer? Is a badge really worth that much?New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

I signed up for the D5 site but it will not allow me to sign on.
I have a question on D5 standard features. My vista build sheet says "033EP LESS Seat Heating" under standard features. I assumed heated seats were standard equipment in a $70k car.
