Range Rover LRX announced

The Range Rover LRX will debut in 2010 and go on sale in 2011 We last reported on the Land Rover LRX last month, when it became pretty clear that Land Rover are pushing ahead with the project after receiving some Government funding for the LRX Concept in March.

That now seems to be confirmed, with Land Rover stating the LRX will debut next year and go on sale in 2011.
