The residuals have to be better on a gen 2. People usually want the latest model..

True, but also relevant is any price hike and how many changes there actually are, power hike likely being the most poignant...
Plus what we actually paid for our cars, any rare discount etc... Fingers crossed!!

According to RRSMan, who seems to know his stuff; 'Major cosmetic changes both internal and external....'
Seems pretty conclusive to me. Can't see them going through the motions without making some good progress.

Colleague who has just taken delivery of his was advised not to order the satin finish as it's a 'mare if it gets bird crap on it and you don't notice.

Hi Phil, good advice, thanks.
What are your views on the gen 2? Didn't you get one of the first made? If the changes are all good would you consider changing yours?

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Sumatra Black

Wouldn't consider changing what is such a remarkable car for something that may be ever so slightly better in some areas.

Any facelift will be to ensure the Velar fits better into the gap and smooth the landscape (both spec and price) across the range. The interior is fine as it is (especially mine). More tech could be a good thing, could not. Simple things like the move of the seat heat control onto the temperature dial last year was for some a good move, but it's left a blanked 'poverty-spec' button on the dash. Introduction of the Velar's touch-sensitive centre console would be a bold move (although I very much doubt it would happen for a good few years yet) and would drive me mad. Finger-prints on the sat nav screen is bad enough, and I would hate people having to use their grubby fingers/stab their sharp fingernails on it. 574hp in the SVR? Would be an obvious thing to do since the F-type has it and the F-pace may get it, but playing the numbers game is for marketing and wouldn't make one iota of difference to how I enjoy the car. I very mich doubt I could tell the difference.

If the rear has been facelifted it'll be interesting to see if the SVR's has. To me, though, a facelift is not enough reason to change.

All good points Phil but it doesn't really help that we are just second guessing at the moment what all the changes might be. Can something so good be improved? That's the challenge facing Land Rover but I still think I would be making the wrong call by ordering now instead of waiting a couple of months and finding out just what has been changed, there's always that chance that we all might be pleasantly surprised.

I have an email from my dealer saying they will get the MY18 spec this month - they messed up my order so are helping me on the list for a MY18 - it was their suggestion I delay the order as slots were getting thin for MY17.

As soon as I get something I will share - they did hint at the changes but it was clearly guesswork so will wait until they have something tangible ... could be a lot of fuss about nothing. Although could see a price/spec rise as a well spec'd Velar is right in the middle of RRS Dynamic territory.

(like the Alltalk comment Very Happy )
