does the RR Sport use an N/A 4.2 V8? wouldn't it use the 4.4 like its big brother? and if WCF is referring to the S/C 4.2 V8 then will it be dropped or be another model in the line up like the XF S/C and the XF-R?

Not sure about the clear rear lights on the Discovery, looks a bit aftermarket and boy racer. Wonder if they will incorporate LED daytime running lights into the headlights like every other manufacturer seems to be doing.

The Range Rover Proper has used the Jag 4.2 for an age - Ford bought LR from BMW while the car was under development and switched from the 4.4 as soon as they could re-engineer it for (what was then) their own power plant. I am not sure the N/A 4.2 are used anymore though, certainly not in the UK (it's superchaged 4.3 or the V6 diesel). That Disco looks cool but I'm not sure about clear rear lights either, unless they make them very much like the Range Stormer/Range Rover.

R\R Sport used to come with 4.4 N/A V8, 4.2 SC or 2.7 TDV6. Now comes with 2.7 TDV6, 3.6 TDV8 or 4.2 SC V8. 3.0 TDV6 replaces 2.7 and 5.0 SC V8 replaces 4.2 SC V8.

Also seems weird that the Disco3 (LR3) is going to be facelifted again. It was facelifted for 2009 model year!

I spotted the facelifted Range Rover in Geneva, and it had much less disguise, but I was too slow to take a picture... Oh well.
