Newest 2014 rumors?

The thing is, after 2014, I don't think there are ANY cars in the the Jag/LR lines that will use the NA 5.0L V8.

The Jaguar XK is still going to be powered by "our" NA V8, at least through MY2014. Some versions of the XJ sedan as well (all of them mated to the same 6-speed tranny.)

I do agree that the S/C V8 won't make it on the LR4 regardless of what happens to the naturally aspirated V8. This car just wasn't designed to handle 500+ hp. Brakes, suspensions would need a serious upgrade.

Really? I'm surprised. Well, it's good that it lives on for at least another year. It's a great engine.

I rolled the dice and am taking a chance that the V8 will still be here for '14. There is nothing wrong with my '11 and the only '13's available around here are either Black or White. I was hoping to order a 14 for spring delivery.

Where are you located? Land Rover Darien in CT has several LR4s in different colors. They even have a couple of LR4s in the new Corris Gray

I wish you luck, but it's all but a guarantee that the V8 is gone for 1014.
