    Well, you can never be sure. Remeber when the LR3 came out and it was the car of the year and sales were great...There is a LOT of competition coming, the Bronco, Hummer, Rivian, Jeep V8, etc so LR is going to have to keep impressing people at the price points they are charging...

    I can't speak for all the different policy types, but I have always known glass coverage to be part of "comprehensive coverage", which is above the minimum required by most states. In my case windshield/glass is covered 100% and the deductible does NOT apply to this part of the policy. Repairs...

    On the flip side, JLR is still looking to push out some non-electric variants. https://www.motor1.com/news/461079/land-rover-defender-90-spied/

    New Defender News

    I guess it depends on where you live, my local dealer has 6 Defenders, which is the most they have of any model on their lot. Land Rover Tysons Corner/Chantilly (Washington DC) has 33 Defenders on the lot, again the most of any Land Rover model they have.

    A FWD Defender??

    That seems contradictory to the direction the new JLR boss seems to want to go. That may be one of the models on the kill list - I guess we'll see soon enough!

    JLR Restructuring / Reorg

    This would kill the need for the Disco Sport https://www.carscoops.com/2020/10/roomier-2021-range-rover-evoque-long-wheelbase-spied-stretching-out-on-the-ring/

    JLR Restructuring / Reorg

    I agree with much of this. The FFRR and Sport need to stay - they are staples. The Evoque needs to stay as that is a staple now. Since the Evoque is now larger and has taken on Velar queues, I see no need for the Velar. Defender 90, 110and 130 all makes sense for the US, but the 130 may or...

    JLR is still counting on selling 100,000 Defenders per year according to this article covering the delay of the RR EV. Probably once all the derivatives and spec levels are available that may be easier to achieve - right now it is mostly higher priced trims on the market...

    Just to confirm, the plug-in hybrid is not coming to the US anytime soon: CO2 targets The SUV maker's parent, Jaguar Land Rover, has to hit a European target to lower its CO2 fleet emissions to 156g/km by 2021, measured on the WLTP test cycle. In 2017, the company's European fleet average was...

    2022 Range Rover L460

    Yikes, more angry eyes headlights. And it does seem a bit more like a Sport. Overall this seems to be a mild evolution in design, with the greatest change being the underlying MLA platform. In theory it should handle even better now. I presume Pivi Pro, so hopefully more relaible as well...

    New Land Rover...... Phone

    For the price of a New Defender, I think they should toss one in with each vehicle for free. Have it set to communicate with the truck perfectly, have apps installed that can monitor the vital stats of the engine/vehicle. Maybe have it be able to auto rollup or roll down windows/sunroof, raise...

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    If there are any questions on how the design came to be, they are answered here in this very interesting video posted by DonMitsu on the LandroverWorld forum - which shows the evolution from the first sketch to the final Defender.

    LR3 Newbie questions.

    You can possibly buy Umberto's LR4 - he is in your area and his new Defender is coming pretty soon. It's a 2013 HSE LUX, Red. He has 220k or so on it but you can be sure all the maintenance is up to date. He may already have it spoken for, I do not know. You can reach out to him here if you...

    The LR appeal over the Defender design trademark fell through, so now it is "official" that Ineos can move ahead. https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/jaguar-land-rover-loses-court-battle-over-defender-trademark

    New Defender News

    The new Defender did not have to necessarily look like the old one to "be good", but it needed to "look the part" of its namesake, and I just don't think it does. I am sure it is an excellent vehicle, as is the D5, but I just do not care for the styling too much and at the price points...
