I had a V8 on order for June delivery. I called my dealer last week and he had a similar configuration that was just delivered. I bought it last Saturday to avoid this possible issue.

I ordered black with tan interior. He had a Carpathian Edition with tan interior which works for me.

Nice, congrats! I wish my dealer had something that fit the bill for us. I'm just laying low for next update when car arrives next week. I'm sure it won't be good news for either party.

Just spoke with a dealer - this specific one said they don’t have the exact increase amount yet, but there’s 100% price increase from Tariffs for anything not already through the ports. Which we basically already knew, but he claims the only thing they know from their meeting today is JLR will not be absorbing the tariffs completely (if any) and will be an increase for anything not on lots or in the US at this point.

Nothing too new other than if you have something on order and is on the way - plan on forking over extra for it unfortunately

I wouldn't worry too much about - give it a day or two and things will change.

A while back, we had some one named ... "The Insider" ... Could he shed more light or "inside" rumors on the subject ?
