Land Rover may be an "aspirational brand" in the US but for the ROW it is equivalent to Jeep. As already noted LR's destined for the US are loaded up pushing prices into luxury territory. That is a JLR 'choice'. For the ROW LR also has to serve the agricultural sector as well and your everyday...

Well for Jaguar Land Rover to continue the existing owners do need to care and continue to purchase new product. As already noted JLR lost millions and is in the midst of downsizing staff and product line through "reorganization".

As part of being the owner of JLR, Ford integrated LR's traction control to their Ford Explorers. Multi-level AWD/4WD is being commoditized. Am I saying Fords is as capable as LR's? No but is it good enough? Probably. Kia and Hyundia will follow with their own. In Colorado there are many...

Ford announcing a major overhaul of European operations, closure of Bridgend plant that makes engines for Jaguar Land Rover while JLR layoffs of 4500 formally announced.

Have to think that today's high prices are one factor in the declining auto sales numbers, discontinuance of models, closures of plants and layoffs. Jaguar Land Rover is not immune to that reality. Project Change and Project Accelerate are marketing euphemisms for all of those responses to...

Appears Apple has the same issues as Land Rover. Or vise versa. (Not related to China)

There will be marketing events to introduce the new Defender. A Camel Trophy style event would be nice although the last staged event, the "G4 Challenge", seemed too politically correct and bland. Remember when Land Rover was going to create 3 distinct categories - Defender, Discovery and...
