JLR rethink the new Defender in light of shrinking profits

JLR have announced that they have had to have a drastic rethink of the new Defender due to market uncertainties and shrinking brand profits.

The redesigned Defender is expected to be in the showrooms in late 2019 and will be far more basic than originally planned.

Yew can’t be serious? Land Rover are barking up the wrong tree if they think that’ll be poplar.

2012 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Orkney Grey

I think the design branch have nailed it this time

Or screwed it up...……

If its only off road, do you think it has been sawn'd to save the road tax?

Sorry...... Previously......
Series 1 80, Series 3 88, Turbo 90, 300tdi 90, 110's with 200, 300, TD5
TD5 Disco, Disco 3, 200Tdi Disco - probably the best vehicle Landrover ever made,
Now 3x FFRR, some would say I should have learned by now......
