How stupid I wonder how much money for JLR this was.

I think they are valid complaints, what's stupid is the people who don't use their own brains instead of relying on technology. Common sense isn't very common.

People have little to do with themselves if they spend their days writing to complain about car ads 🤬 Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Auto Zermatt Silver

If you’re dumb enough to reverse a car off of a cliff edge you deserve all that’s coming . 90 % of Defenders won’t see anything more arduous than raising a tyre to park on the pavement by the school double yellows .

On a slightly different topic , I saw a preproduction Grenadier at the Northern shooting show today . Any thoughts that it would be ‘ affordable ‘ can be forgotten . It’s certainly impressive but for a 5 door diesel with a bit of specification it will be pushing £70k . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Yeah, shame. But IIRC the basic, pauper spec version starts at £54K

But inflation is having an effect. My FL2 would be £39k now to buy new now.

Yes , around £49 grand buys a utility 3 litre petrol , that’s a commercial to me and you I think . The people at the show told me that they’d have demonstrators on the road soon in a new garage in Skipton . It’s quite an impressive package , I’ll go have a look but delivery is 12 months from order and you’ve to buy a slot in the queue .( Having said that I’ve had a HiLux on order since Sept 21 to replace the Freelander , and the delivery has gone back to November 22 ! )
The blurb at the show makes much of the fact that the vehicle is not an SUV , but obviously with a 3 litre petrol or diesel BMW , 8 speed autobox and great seats , it’s going to be a major improvement on the Defender. 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

To put into perspective
Ford Transit recommended retail price is £42,522 to £59,586 for the 2 litre diesel - electric are far more expensive.

Granted that includes VAT, but the best part of £60k for a van.
