England 2011 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Baltic Blue

Fred,

LR are aware of the big untapped market in Europe and I am pretty sure there are plans in place to do something about it.

However, the problem at the moment is that demand for LR products currently exceeds supply of those products and the production lines are running at full capacity. There would be little sense in doing a big push in Europe and then being unable to supply the vehicles.

United Kingdom 2013 LR2 TD4 Dynamic Manual Santorini Black

Hi Fred, I remarked on this on caravan chat in July. Went to Belgium ,Holland,
Germany and Luxemburg, and like you, only saw about 5 Evo's 8 RR's, and
a few Disco's. Not one Freelander!!..........until I got back to Blighty. We stopped
at a campsite in Hythe, and a few hours later a German registered outfit arrived!

having also driven down to Austria this summer I was quite pleased how many LR products i saw, especially the number of Defenders in Austria, along with Evoques and a new RR Vogue and even a new Sport and quite a few Discos. however FL2's were all UK reg although i did see an German reg FL1 somewhere (think it was Trier). eh tu?

United Kingdom 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Bali Blue

fredastaire wrote = It just makes me question on behalf of all of us members of the forum whether we are blinkered and have all made a wrong choice.


Yes
from a soon to be BMW X3 owner Whistle

On the point that someone made that LR wont do a hard sales push in Europe because they are at full capacity - the X3 is produced in America in one factory that supplies the world - current lead in time is 5 months and they still sell them. One dealer I spoke to said he has a waiting list for any second hand ones that come in because they are so hard to come by. Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

I just believe that LR have a huge untapped market on mainland Europe that is so close to home.
When you have a good product that can operate in a very similar operating temperature and weather environment using standard factory build perameters you should market and build up a good sales area.

There is evidently such a big hole in LR marketing that I hope this forum is seen by LR directors and they do something about it.
They already have the European LH build spec on the production line.
.
Kind regards from Fred


I go to Germany maybe 3-4 times a year and Freelanders are a regular site on German roads.

I am sure the LR marketing department know what they are doing and don't have a 'hole' in their strategy. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........
