I was initially trying to politely clarify and assist you where you could have been perhaps 'unintentionally' misled on specification in a sale scenario for the 2012MY However, you chose to second guess the validity of my polite advice and make it into a competition over who knows the most or least.

Thanks for your support

You might want to seek clarification on that

The harman/kardon premium LOGIC7 ICE system ...<edit>... This system will be available as an option for Commercial, XS and HSE derivatives

If that is your way of being polite I would hate to see rude and aggressive.

What in name of Antony Worrall Thompson is rude about that

Anyway lets move on

I spoke to the general manager at the dealer yesterday. He told me in general terms about the MY2012 changes (basically agreeing with me when I mentioned Jag 8 speed auto, lower emissions, increased bhp, wheel design changes). He told me that the embargo will be lifted on 7 July and build of MY2012 starts on 22 August.

We had a good old chat on prices but he told me that his leeway with discounts was limited because the quota of D4's (2012) that they have been allocated will not allow them to achieve their sales objectives/profit margins across the business. That appears to be because LR are allocating far more cars to emerging markets such as China (as has been flagged on this forum before I think). that's a shame for us customers too obviously but to be fair to the dealers they are being asked to operate with one hand tied behind their back when they have what seems to be a great product that they could sell all day long for little or no discount off list.

Anyway, he told me that he could give me a bit more detail next week so I've arranged to pop in and have a chat with a view to ordering a new XS (2012) or possibly putting my name down for a 6 month old 2011 HSE model which they have given to a sponsor and which is due back in September and which he would "do me a deal on". I guess that makes sense - shift an "old" car that doesn't clutter up his forecourt come September and sell all the 2012 D4's he can at full list. Job done. I need to think hard about that one when he gives me numbers next week but I can exclusively reveal that Mrs G likes the sound of the HSE.....!

Cheers
