I like it, but very pricey.

I mean, seriously, is this the low level of respect JLR North America has for the core platform's capability off-road .... and for its customers? No sliders, no real off-road tires, no undertray armor -- and they want the customers to pay $$$ to compete to destroy their own vehicles?

I predict the course will be easier than trails some current customers are already transiting. Surely, Land Rover UK would never believe it helps the brand to do something so silly in their region.

Yes, MrBreeze,right on -- look at the squirrel running up the tree and don't pay attention to the supply chain reality of not filling orders already taken.

I believe you are correct.

It also appears to be shown with roof rack, ladder, a frame, winch which does not appear to be part of the package. In the photos it states the winch is an additional dealer installed accessory.

Seems like a horrible value vs the typical x dynamic xe....unless something is completely different on the interior. But still its about a 22k premium with only a couple of the off road packages added and the exterior wrap?

Why they are even offering special edition models right now seems like horrible marketing. Wait until you need to drive some more demand.
