2010 Range Rover Refresh Information
The official pictures of the 2010 Range Rover are not out but some shots of it are as well as some information.
"Land Rover’s third-generation Range Rover was first introduced in 2002 and was updated in 2005 with some minor styling revisions as well as a range of new V8 engines sourced from Jaguar. The luxury SUV is set to undergo another minor update, as revealed by these latest spy shots of a camouflaged prototype spotted in the United States.
The facelifted model is expected to go on sale in the first half of next year for the 2010 model year, and should only feature some minimal revisions. These will include a new grille and headlight design, as well as several updates to the interior. These changes will be minimal as the interior was revamped only last year, picking up a new dashboard design, electronic park brake and new seats.
While no major mechanical updates are planned, there could be the introduction of a 5.0L V8 engine, which will also appear in a number of Jaguar models as well as facelifted versions of the Range Rover Sport and even the Discovery 3. A 3.0L V6 turbodiesel to replace the current 2.7L unit could also be on the cards.
The list of changes are designed to keep the SUV fresh until the arrival of the next-generation model, expected to fall sometime in 2011 or 2012."

RE: 2010 Range Rover Refresh Information
Here is what I noticed from the photos:
[ul][*]Nice new steering wheel with more controls[*]Presumably a new nav screen and more functions (taken from Jag)[*]The buttons on the center stack look much cleaner (more of an Audi or VW design)[*]Fog lights have been moved below the bumber[*]New LED's in the taillights, front turnsignals and running lights[*]New taillight design: It looks like two red rings with a clear ring in the center for both the upper and lower portions.[*]New Bumper: In addition to losing the fog lights it looks like they increased the size of the bumper and reduced the size of the headlights. It is difficult to say with certainty if this is the case.[/ul]
