| Yes, I think LR may have underestimated this. The fold-flat function of the current RRS is a big reason I bought the car in the first place. The lack of it detracts dramatically from the usefulness of ... |

| It's a shame. One of the big advantages of the current RRS is the fact that you can load a ton of stuff into the back with the flat-folding seats, as we've done on our wide-ranging outback trips - fri ... |

| Mmmm...thanks for that. Not having driven the new RRS - and there won't be any to test drive here for some months - I'm still leaning towards the FFRR TDV8. Drove a one-year-old FFRR the other day, th ... |

| The government has all that covered. You get slugged for everything, GST, Luxury Car Tax, Customs & Import Duty, the works. It's probably more expensive to import a car yourself than let a dealer ... |

Don't know about wages being higher...maybe they are. And yes, the weather is a tad better.
I might be better off getting a 12-month old Vogue Luxury SDV8 rather than wearing the full depreciation ... |

| You chaps in England have it pretty good. The LR dealer here just wrote me up a quote for a new HSE SDV6. Fuji white, standard 20inch wheels, no other bling except for surround camera and and memory s ... |

| Mmmm....okay, for $20,000 less money than a new Sport SDV6 I can get a 2012 SDV8 Luxury Vogue with 15,000km or less on it...and a lot more load space. A tough decision, the Sport is so much more advan ... |

| Yep, that sounds about right. I can't find a single thing on any LR site about the seats folding flat like the old car. It's not a deal breaker (yet) but it's only me and my wife, planning some long d ... |

| Dickie I suspect the 'load-through' option as quoted on the bewildering and incomprehensible LR options list (it runs to 6 A4 pages here!) merely refers to the rear centre armrest folding forward and ... |

| Ah, so you definitely can fold them completely flat if you tick that option box? So in that case, does LR fit seat cushions that fold forward against the front seat backs like the outgoing model? |
