FFRR 2011 or 2012 car

[rpgk]

Hi there, hoping someone can shed some light on a question i have. I am looking at purchasing a new FFRR and have been offered 2 options, a 2012 car or a 2011 car with more of a discount - the guy says there is no difference between the two, but why is he offering a discount on the 2011 car?? It may be a silly question but are they 2 different Model Year cars? If so does anyone know the differences??

Many Thanks

Yes they are different, although very minor.

12MY got colour coded side vents, door handles and a black grille surround. There are also black light backings.
11MY had greay side vents, door handles and a grey grille surround. The light backings are dark grey.

VERY minor and not worth the premium for 12MY IMO. Visually very similar.

12MY also got RANGE ROVER wheel roundels vs LAND ROVER on 11MY.

I thought they were bringing out a completely new model FFRR in 2012?

I could be wrong though

'Completely' new one is announced at the end of 2012 I think.

what did you go for in the end? & why?

Ended up going for the 2012 MY, not a significant price difference in the end between that and 2011 MY.

Should get car in the next few weeks so can comment more then.

Not sure if i should start another post for this, but would really like RSE although this particular does not have it. Does anyone have any recommendations as to which is best to go for and as it will be retro fit, can it be integrated into the car system?

Thanks
