That just says production of the current one will cease. But everyone already knows that.
It doesn't say anything about a replacement. We all know landrover plan a lot more models. We may don't know what they might be.

So would mine . . . if I had any. I reckon Iveco have nailed that market. You can tell that they actually tried, heaven forbid.
