Agreed, I guess they make it for the US market already so thought why not.

Perhaps for those who do low mileage per year and cannot justify or budget doesn't stretch to the 5.0 SC model. 2014 SDV8 Autobiography Cool

My guess is that it is mainly a reaction to the growing hostility to diesel, especially for urban use. Legislators are under pressure to improve air quality and buyers may be concerned about that and about filter clogging and not need/want 500 + bhp. Only Range Rovers since 1988

I don't like diesels but the amount of time one spends in petrol stations with a 5.0 is offensive.

It would maybe make my list except not available in Autobiography

I think you're right.

I always wondered whether that engine was a good fit. It's been here since the L405 debuted.

That could be a reason, cause here in the fatherland the minister of transport is thinking to forbid Diesel cars in the towns.... Neutral due to EU fines for bad air. All my spelling errorz are belong to me!
