New York 2008: Land Rover thinks the silver/black LRX should be seen stateside

We first saw the Land Rover LRX concept CUV in Detroit when it was a gleaming white promise from the future. Land Rover displayed a second color scheme for the LRX in Geneva and has brought that vehicle to New York this week. We couldn't help but get a little shutter-happy today, and we also got Land Rover North America's VP of communication, Tim Watson, to tell us that, while nothing is guaranteed, the company is "cautiously optimistic" that the LRX will one day be brought into production. Considering this turbodiesel hybrid would emit just 120 grams of CO₂ per kilometer, we're not afraid to say we'd like that. You can listen to Watson by clicking on the audio widget below and see more images of the black and silver LRX by clicking the gallery thumbnails.

why not the LS2LS7? said...

I'll be interested to see if LR ever really offers this as a 120g/km vehicle in the US or sells any real number of them.

It seems rather unlikely that this would make that cutoff, and if it did, it'd likely be too sluggish to sell well in the US market.
