I am so glad the changes aren't enough to want to make me cancel my existing order.

Some of the changes are nice but I’m happy with what I ordered for 2024

I just played with the configurator and would have done the Tasman blue with country pack and the 20” white wheels.

Looks like the screen is 11.2 versus 10, but there is no option to upgrade the speakers.

At least the Meridian Surround is standard on the X Dynamic now vs having to option it before.

Not sure if the 105 extra horsepower is worth $23K. But unlike the V8, at least it still comes with roof rails.

Strange that they are doing that. What's even weirder is that they did not mention this engine anywhere in the press material as of the time I'm writing this.

Where did you read this? I am unable to find any information on a 500HP inline 6 from JLR.

It is on the US configurator and only available on the 110 X-Dynamic SE. I have a feeling it might be a typo online and it should be the V8 P500, but we'll see.
