Thread: The Green Oval

From what I can see they are splitting the model line up into 2. Making Land-Rover and Range Rover into new and seperate brands with their own models. No different to GM with their Chev and Cadillac brands.

Not really sure if Land-Rover has a future as a brand name plate on a vehicle as Defender production will end soon due to EU rules making it unsaleable in Europe where 70% of production is sold. Low sales volumes making moving production overseas for sale in the remaining limited markets uneconomic. Remember in a year they make less Defenders than Holden does Commodores or SAAB achieved from its entire model range. In this future Land-Rover becomes the company name with Range Rover the brand seen on all the cars which will (as appears to be evolving {no pun intended}) have their own individual names.

They're simply being split into the on road orientated Range Rover & the off road orientated Land Rover.

we have had a 2 early (70's) two doors. Both with "By Land Rover" stickers on them
