At the bottom of the lineup is the new-for-2008 LR2, which gets new 19-inch wheels and interior trim changes.

The LRX Concept that was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show is revised for the New York presentation with a metallic black paint job and silver highlighting, and is built using lightweight materials. Carbon composite was chosen to create the removable roof panel and underbody plates.

Also on display is the company's G4 Challenge LR3 which will run in next May's competition in Nevada.
