Dynamically designed and arrestingly attractive, Land Rover's LRX concept has won much praise on the auto show circuit--so much so that it is being rushed to production. Previous reports have suggested that it could be revealed in production trim as early as the middle of next year--June 17 2010 to be exact--and now Land Rover has confirmed the vehicle for production.

Why the specific June 17 date? Because this marks 40 years to the day since the original Range Rover was first revealed to the public, and since the production LRX will be badged as a Range Rover it is entirely possible that this is when it will be revealed.

Celebrating an major anniversary in the car-making world almost always means revealing a new model or concept - take Mini's 50th, for example - and Land Rover isn't one to buck the tradition. A report out today says the Range Rover LRX will arrive on June 17, 2010 - the 40th anniversary of the Range Rover's first public unveiling.

The LRX, shown off in concept form at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show, has received a lot of attention for pairing a sharp, modern design with Land Rover's traditional proportions. It has also caught the eye of eco-types thanks to a 50 mpg hybrid version that's rumored to be headed for production.
