Now the Q7 may have some competition...
In the race for who can pack the most technology into an SUV. The new Discovery was revealed at the Paris auto show yesterday and Land Rover released this video: (warning - it's 13 minutes long) I just priced it out, and like the Q7, a Discovery with all these features is $80K. Add $440 to order the optional full size spare tire on matching alloy wheel instead of the standard donut spare.

This new Discovery is also significantly slower (0-60 time of 6.8 seconds). Wonder what the third row leg room happens to be? Looks to be more expensive than the Q7 as well... $75k for similarly spec'd to my $61k Q7... But it does look nice...

WHOA!....whats going on with that rear quarter area. Swooping butt in the air.
They are parts binning Jaguar's in-control infotainment system minus the cool instrument panel. I don't really see the advantage of flipping seats up and down with with a phone app but it is a cool party trick.
Looks like they are heading in the right direction. I have a soft spot for British cars. Jaguar and Rover are worlds apart in reliability. Jaguar's is the better of the two but I am sure they are going to be working closer in the future so both brands improve.

When Ford had their yard sale, Jaguar and Land Rover were both purchased by Tata, which is some huge conglomerate based in India that owns hundreds of companies. I have read that they have deep pockets and can infuse the cash that Jaguar and Land Rover need to improve reliability. That is why you see the parts sharing. Not sure who Ford sold Volvo to, I think it was a Chinese company.

At least for me, I know I did not vote for the owner satisfaction like that.
