I know that we all like rumours. So this could start a few of a few.

When production restarts after a few months break in January, will they have incorporated some redesigns of the vehicle? My bet is at least the following:

1) A reduction in the RHD hump, by incorporating a redesigns plastic overmat.
2) A redesigned steering box.
3) Towbar as standard.
4) A V8 option (well maybe not).

None of the above...

#3, at least for US vehicles is partially true... the MY25 vehicles will have the electronic control module pre-installed/configured in the vehicle, but will still have the wiring to the towbar and the towbar itself as an option
 

C'mon tae grips

An opportunity wasted on No 1.

I should have said a price reduction, as the second hand prices in the UK have bombed.
Are the lower prices not partly driven by the bag-of-bones preconfigures still being off loaded? Maybe I am being naive but once they are ditched, hopefully we see a correction back up.

At least here in North America, 2025 prices were announced months ago, approximately a 5% rise in pricing

I don't think it's entirely the "bag-of-bones". For the US market, Field, Trial and Bases available, new and used at a discount.

On another thread, @Skydance (in the UK) said "Makes me cry when I look at how much mines worth on Auto trader. Secondhand ones are an absolute bargain." (ref: https://www.theineosforum.com/threa...sex-uk-dealer.12417347/page-2#post-1333316800)
Not certain if those were Field or Trials but I suspect its a smattering of everything.

Inventory on hand for the last quarter has been pretty much the same. Maybe people are waiting for the 25's before making a decision.
If tariffs don't hit before 25 models arrive it might make for some good deals.... maybe under 60 for a base?

@Trialmaster agree with #1 (price reduction). Would also like to see them ditch the one piece center console panel in favor of something more modular.

And that's before the real possibility of tariffs on European Autos a month hence.
The pick up already has a 20% tariff. Keep in mind most parts for vehicles are made outside the US, so tariffs will hit USA car manufactures.

Technically of course, it isn't the manufacturers that will be hit by tariffs...
