Passed by my local Land Rover dealership today. My sales rep confirmed they are getting 4 HST within the next 8 months with the first HST being delivered late Sept. Second delivery is late October. Third will be Dec and fourth will be March 2016. White, Red, Black, and Grey are the colors they are allocated. Not too many people are aware of the HST but I'm sure once it hits the dealership, it will sell itself. She also informed me the 2016 RRS are expected to arrive mid August.

Yes good information. My dealer said everybody will get a white HST to start and then the color allocations are random but dictated by LR and not the customer or dealer. Time frames for arrivals makes sense as production started July and goes until January. The three dealers I spoke to in the past all had waiting lists but it does seem to be varied in how much people know about them. Agree the HST should be a hot seller.
 
Interesting info here..It seems it is much easier to get your hands on an HST here in Canada..my dealer seems to have quite a few available if I want one.
I just wish it came with the Diesel engine as an option.
 
My dealer is saying the first HST is arriving August 21st. How do I know? I put a deposit on that one!!! :grin: If you see my earlier post, dealers are getting one every 1-2 months up until March. Originally she said it will be at the end sept for their first
HST but it was moved up. I'm down south in Louisiana. Will post pics!

Looking forward to your pics...
 
Nice!!!

Looks like it also have the ATB rear bumpers.

So basically all the unique cosmetics of an ATB stealth pack without the V8SC engine, and a hefty discount.

They might sell quite a few of these. I definitely would take this if it's available in '13. :)

congratulations. Looking forward to seeing the interior. My firenze red should be built within the next 30 days and delivered before Halloween.

My dealer has seen little demand for the HST.....people are unaware (except enthusiasts)

MSRP is $79,995. Sliding pano is standard, you can't switch anything out, at least in the U.S.

Some interesting tidbits on the HST from the 2016 RRS brochure:

-0-60 per LR is 6.8 seconds (0.1 over 340 hp SCV6)
-Even though extra duty not an option the HST has adaptive dynamics
-Illuminated aluminum treadplates with Range Rover lettering

On a side note, there are a great number of typos on the downloadable 2016 brochure from LR, if it comes to print that way somebody is not doing their job very well.
 
When you head back to the dealer to drive off with your brand new rig, which looks AMAZING by the way, can you let us know how the exhaust note sounds? Whether if it's the same as the V8SC (hopefully - fingers crossed) or like the 340HP V6. Thanks In Advance!
I would guess it will sound more like the 340hp V6 than the V8SC based solely on the fact that its an updated version of the V6 and really has nothing to do with the V8
