Consider the target market's utility for said capability.

It means what I said, which again was "The obvious refute to this is the existence of the INEOS project". Where did I say they were destined to be a runaway success and put LR out of business? I didn't. They're attempting to build a modern Defender, because JLR's attempt is the disappointing...

You missed the point. No one claimed they would be successful, which doesn't matter. What does matter, is it's rare a vehicle misses the mark so substantially that it spawns a serious effort to do it right.

The moment he complains about the old one's road handling, you know he doesn't have a clue. Of course he then takes the common erroneous position that if it wasn't the same as the original, everyone was going to hate it. This rampant binary stupidity asserts that the new fashion Defender was the...

You're repeating a common EAS misconception, at great length. The video was for you. Don't take it personally. This topic has come up before, and been corrected before. Unless you can point to a reference that states otherwise, LR has never implemented a system that modulates airbag pressure...

Sorry professor, but your lengthy explanation is wrong. Given constant payload, bag pressure is constant at all ride heights. Pressure only varies when raising, lowering, or when payload changes. Spring rate actually decreases slightly at increased ride heights due to increased bag volume. The...

Pressure is constant, only volume changes. Rubber age is what killed them.

That's to be expected. However, they seem to be gaining no ground even after decades of opportunity.

Yeah I guess it's funny if you manufacture inconsistencies. However, I FTFY.

I liked the part where you said "premier global mall crawler". Good chuckle that. I mean there's an entire line of cars that takes the cake for global mall crawling, and G is only second. Mechanical reliability has improved. Unfortunately, they kept finding new ways to inject that classic Lucas...

lol, the irony.

I'm not talking about rock crawling or destroying vehicles, I said "as intended". I need to look around more? OK. What do I see driving around the mountains, camp sites, farms, industrial areas, OHV trailheads, snow parks, etc. New trucks, new Jeeps, misc. classics. What do I see looking in the...

Looks like you're enjoying some great experiences there. Having spent time in your land down under in my earlier years, I look back on it fondly. I'd very much like to take my family back some day and revisit the coastlines, rain forest, and outback that I experienced on cattle ranches. The...

Fair postings. We could use some positivity in these times though. On that note, LR buying Bowler may inject some much needed interest into the lineup, INEOS is on track to produce a real Defender successor, the Bronco leaks are looking very promising, and ROW imports continue to pour into the...

It's not my fault their products have gone downhill to the point that few people, even relative to the few people that use other brand's products off-road, have any interest in using them as supposedly intended. Ask nearly any average non-enthusiast person what they associate with Land Rover...
