Wow, thanks for the $5k inventive lead. Any chance that could be applied to vehicles ordered this month, but not arriving until a few months later?

As far as colors, I'm currently leaning toward the black exterior and arabica interior. I think it looks sharp in pictures, but wish I could see it in person. I'm going to go test drive an ivory interiored one tomorrow.

That's bad news about the camera, I was planning to get that too. Although I don't plan to tow, I agree that it seems like a good thing for off-road to minimze the need for spotting.

I asked my dealer about the incentives. The $3500 is only if you are currently leasing a land rover or competitive vehicle and your lease isn't up yet. It' to help compensate you for early lease termination.
No deal if you own or are financing your trade in.

The $1500 is to compensate the dealer for offering the "low" APR rates mentioned above that offer. If your dealer offers to pass along some of that $1500, check the APR that they give you.

So I think I'm staring at full MSRP.

Just test drove both the sport and LR4. The LR4 had intermittent problems involving the fob and starting the engine. Turned out to be a proximity issue. It had to be held right next to the steering column to work. Also it wouldn't allow locking of the doors from outside. Also the check engine light was on and a red triangle warning light. Sigh, it's starting already. I asked the salesman to notify me when they figure out what all the problems are. Hopefully just something simple.

Other than that, I was very impressed with the throttle response and handling of the LR4. Way way better than the LR3 I tested previously. It's good enough that the 3rd row, extra cargo room, and better off road ability might be enough to swing me away from the sport. Will have to see the SC first.
