Seems to me that the LR deals in jersey have them all in showrooms now and are having them for test drives. I went to the LR Paramus dealer here in jersey 2 weeks ago, they had a gray one in the showroom which i must say looked really good. I love the tweaks they've made on the outside and its definitely true that it does look better in person. On saturday they had them for test drives, and even thou i did not have a RRS before, the '10 one was a much better ride than the '09 i test drove a couple of months ago. This time they had a black one, which i think was really nice and i might get. It was the LUX version (what the lux version is for the ones that dont know, its a upgraded interior package for 3k or something like that, but definitely worth it). I definitely will be getting the '10 RRS HSE one very soon, im just trying to decide what color looks the best on it. So far from the gray one and the black one, i like the black one, but the black had had a almond interior with a light wooden trim which to me looked really cheap. The gray one had a black interior with a dark wooden trim which in my opinion was a lot better. So im just trying to see them in person and figure out which color to choose from, the dealer said he is getting a black on black one on tuesday which i will check out, but not sure how that will look. Also, anyone that is interested in getting a RRS this month, go to edmunds.com, and you can see the latest incentives. There is a manufacturer to customer incentive this month for $3500 cash back which the dealer had no clue about. Also there is a $1500 incentive manufacturer to dealer if the customer finances the car through Chase. So if you were planning on financing the car through chase, like me, I will see if i can work out a deal between the dealer and me to split the $1500 incentive between me and them.

and if anyone has any suggestions for the RRS '10 colors, please let me know. Im looking into getting the black one and not sure of the interior colors. I did not like the black one with the almond interior and a light wooden trip, to me it looked cheap. Anyone has any suggestions, please post.

Weatherman it says "purchase or lease"

"Restrictions $3,500 is available to current Lesses of a qualified Land Rover or Eligible competitive vehicle towards the purchase or lease of a new 2010 Range Rover Sport. Can be combined with special APR or Nonsubvented lease. See your local dealer for complete details.
Comments Dealer participation may vary. Incentives and Rebates are provided subject to the terms of our Visitor Agreement."

correct me if I'm understanding this wrong, but this is what a former land rover salesman told me about cause he isnthe one that went on the site and read it to me and told me about the rebate.

You got me worried for a second, i thought i was reading it wrong. Well at least I hope that they accept it, I know they are very tight with brand new models that are just showing up right now. :clap:

Ok, so I just got back from another RRS '10 test drive, went mainly to see the different colors and asked the salesman about the incentives. The $3500 is still good but unfortunately its only good if you're trading in a car or lease. He said the purpose of that of course is to get rid of your current car and get you in the new one. So that sucks for me since i am not trading anything back in. Now, the $1500 incentive for manufacturer to dealer, he said that they can work some kind of deal with me if i do decide to go with chase financing. Ill see what he gets back to me about, but im pretty sure if it came down to the wire of buying the car or not, i dont think they would mind giving up that deal to the customer so they can sell the car. So thats the deal in the '10 incentives for now. Another disappointment for me right now was that the salesman said that noone of the RRS '10 have come out with the 360 camera option which I really wanted to get. Apparently they have not shipped out due that the lack of inventory apparently to the camera manufacturer, and he said it might take another 4-8 weeks until they ship those out -if anyone has seen one with all the cameras, please let me know. So 2 bummers for me. And my biggest bummer is that i dont know which color to get yet. I loved the black interior, so i saw one today thats black on black and i gotta say it it look good.

Hmmm.... I definitely have to say that the ride was smoother and better in the '10 one than the '09 one, even thou the dealer said that there weren't any changes in the suspension. I thought that it was a pretty good ride on the streets, i don't think it was mind blowing, but then again, i cant really answer this since I did not own a previos RR, I come from a BMW background, so i've gotta say that its not as good as a BMW ride, so don't all come down on me now because i think i still will get the RR because of the exterior looks and the interior upgrades. How would i rate the drive personally on a 1-10 scale on the streets, i probably would give it a 7.5 / 8 out of 10

****, so you're saying it's not worth it waiting for the"360" cameras? I thought of waiting a month and hopefully they will arrive but I guess it might take longer. Not really sure now if it's worth the wait... Been itching for a RRS '10. I just wish the dealers had more in stock with different colors and interiors.

They all have the backup cam as standard, its the other 4 cams that is optional arent coming in now. I saw a black one with a almond interior, but i have to say to my personally taste - the almond interior looked really really cheap. So far i like how the black on black looks with the dark wooden trim, im waiting to see more. I also gotta say that ive seen the white one, and that bar under the grill, the black one, doesnt really look so well, i wish it came in different colors.

Yes, the salesman are very untrained on the new cars coming in, i know more than they do and thats just reading from the internet. Its kind of sad that this is their full time job and they dont know many details. Also on these brand new cars since they will sell in the beginning, they barely even approach you the right way - its basically "ok give me your check" without actually showing you all the features about the car, or at least in my experience so far.
