    Some interesting comments about the technology LR plans to use here - would be nice if the diesel version makes it to the U.S. by then.

    I'm not a fan of diesel in cars but in SUV's and trucks it makes sense. Lot's of power and much better economy. The latest clean diesels here in Europe are pretty good - yes I have changed my views since seeing the experience of some of my colleagues with the latest versions. Their tail pipes are completely clean and shiney INSIDE after thousands of miles of taxi use.

    I'd expect LR to releae the diesel versions and probably wise to do so on their entire range. The V8 diesel in the Range Rover is great.
