At the dealer yesterday and well over 50% of their order bank is for Coupe - so probably not great news for those Coupe orders at the back of the queue.

My dealer had said that LR were only expecting coupe's to represent less than 30% of the orders. Could they have got their sums seriously wrong? Crying

In the long term people want practicality; I believe the 5dr will generate the majority of sales.

Yes, I think that's certainly true and looking at how people have voted so far it does'nt look like LR are too far out with their guestimate.
For me, even though I have ordered a coupe, it will still be the most practical car I have ever owned Smile

RE: Three or five door?

Looks like LR's prediction of a 70/30 split is bang on so far. It would be good to have more votes though, so maybe after the live events people will have a better idea of which way they are going to jump. Either that or some of us may want to change our orders!

RE: Three or five door?

Having been to Earls Court my heart says Coupe but my head says 5 door - practicality, slightly bigger.
Not sure

Arrived: SD4 Prestige Auto Coupe with Lux pack. Ipanema Sand with Black Panoramic Roof
Ambience Interior with Macassa wood.

Now a Jag XFR Kyanite Blue - wow what power.
At home and superb.
