RE: 9 speed ZF auto for 2014
When I was ordering the Sq5 the sales guy said that LR Gaydon (R&D) keep borrowing Audi convertibles to study the hood mechanisms - the A5 Cabrio for instance still leaves a useable boot when retracted....research for the Evoque convertible apparently...

RE: 9 speed ZF auto for 2014
Info on future Land Rover models I have:
New RRS to be shown at New York Motor Show
There will be a mini Range Rover - Smaller than Evoque
Long Wheelbase Evoque will share chassis with new Freelander. New Freelander will be available with 7 seats
No mention of new Disco. Selling well so current shape will be used for a few more years.
p.s, although I love my Evoque, the shine is starting to fade. Maybe a tad too slow....Considering changing for an A45 AMG.

RE: 9 speed ZF auto for 2014
My brother has an A5 cab............................... the roof has been a never ending source of problems with it so lord knows why LR are borrowing them unless they are looking for duff mechanisms to fit to maintain their traditional place at the bottom of the reliablity charts. His A4 cab was far suprior in every respect compared to his A5.

RE: 9 speed ZF auto for 2014
Must admit I loved the ZF autos in my FFRR's and RRS's, so much better than te Aisin units in Evoque and Freelander 1. Cannot see the weight saving of 7.5kgs having a huge effect on economy but the higher top gear should improve cruising economy although a lot will depend on the torque changes they make to allow the car / transmission to work at lower RPM. If LR can resolve the battery issues with Evoque then I might have found my next car!

RE: 9 speed ZF auto for 2014
Any idea if the lower gears are really low, for off road stuff and that in practice it is closer to a six speed box in real world use?
Either way I am getting excited.
