    Not the best transation but it was free and makes some sence :?

    Country Rover: ground well make wants with new Offroadern with a model offensive country Rover until 2009 the sales figures increase. To the renewal program belong the new Discovery, the ranks Rover sport, successor for Freelander and Defender, a Facelift for the ranks Rover as well as possibly a compact-Offroader new totally.

    Country Rover-manager Matthew Taylor peilt for 2004 round 170,000 sold should become units at (2003: 165.000), into five years from that 200,000 to 250,000 - an increase around nevertheless 20 to 50 percent. The large variable in the prediction stirs therefore that the growth markets of the sign are to be estimated heavily.

    In the USA - the SUV- and Geländewagen-Hochburg simply -, country Rover is represented until now namely only very weakly and yet enormously wants to increase itself there just as as in the mediator and distances East. In Europe again where the countries Rover-position is more traditionally more consolidated, depend the increase rate more of them whether the model program is expanded yet by a compact Offroader beneath the Freelander.

    Earlier seven new models in 45 years - today five new in six years at the same time is already that wogende renewal wave momentary more powerful than ever before in the countries Rover-story. The firm brought are previously in 45 years just once seven new models too ways, it - the ends 2001 introduced ranks Rover with included - today within only six years immediately five new introductions.

    In addition Rover count next to the ranks developed yet under BMW-Ägide and the new Discovery introduced on the New York car show (launch in Germany in November) that now officially ranks Rover sport (sale start in the summer 2005) named littler ranks on which the of study shown in Detroit ranks Stormer gave up to the Viertürigkeit and the somewhat higher car body formally already a foretaste. The 2006 successor to be expected of the Freelander complete the novelty-round as well as 2007 the new levy of the Defender.

    In between 2005 larger model care measures are planned in the autumn at the rank Rover, that must defend now in form the more largely and technically demanding become Discovery an aufstrebenden rival out of the characteristic stable. The facegeliftete ranks Rover the new should networked receive among other things, electronically with load work voting as well as motor control and and transmission control Allradantriebssystem "grounds Response“, holds the modes different area codes cash for the going on grass, snow, crushed rock as well as in the terrain for the overcoming of sand, mud, furrow and rock chunk ready.

    Moreover is kept in mind also to replace the 4,4-Liter-V8 expensively bought in addition until now by BMW by a company-internal engine. Possible alternative would be brought become could the respect cylinder by jaguar, that on 4.6 liter Hubraum - conceivably also with compressor-charge in order to uncover the spectrum between 300 and 400 HP. Medium-term also the V8-Common-Rail-Turbodiesel developed by Ford and PSA in the rank Rover entrance will hold.

    Possible is put on for an entirely little (about 1,000 to 2,000 units annual), but especially achievement hungry and substantial clientele another approximately 450 HP of strong V12-Version of the rank Rover - either with the Aston-Martin-twelve cylinder or the entirely new V12, that is developed in the Ford-group for the noble sign. New Defender also with air resilience and grounds-Response-Allradantriebssystem country Rover sets in its program renewal out of costs reason on a same part strategy. For Discovery, ranks Rover sport and the next Defender rest on a joint platform, that is named internally T5. That means
    that the next Defender will be equipped also all around with air resilience and naturally also that is received "grounds Response-all wheel-system“.

    Probably it becomes the new Defender as well as the old again in three differently long executions give - concretely should the new levy in the next twelve months dismissed become in order to be able to go end 2007 in series. Possibly however the old model further is constructed at least in a version for the third world another time long parallel to the new.

    In order to make ground in Europe long-termed well, country Rover needs actually another compact-Offroader in the style of Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V - a field that will till soon also of Opel. It gives exact plans for such one babies countries Rover to be sure not yet, but earnest considerations in addition. PAG-boss mark Fields: "the problem the costs side is. The car must calculate itself, on the other hand however also plausible country Rover-virtues as well as high functionality and embody terrain usefulness - a Spagat to manage that not simply is.“

    More easily could be braced the project natural with an or several partner signs out of the Ford-group. Volvo for example wants to get into also yet into the segment of the easily-SUV´s. First contacts between the Sweden and country Rover already were attached. Here a decision in the course of the next 18 months would be allowed to develop itself.

    The departure disposition in country Rover makes separate itself however not only through new models also through Innovative sign just Extras noticeably. In addition the so named Adventure Cam belongs from 2005 - a miniature-video camera that can be mounted entirely at will outside at the car body and transfers its pictures to the navigation-monitor in the thingypit.

    According to use purpose, that can be supervised therewith for example backwards ranking with a follower in the train or ease offroad the maneuvering at steep uphill passages if the view passes only gene sky, and can only ahead mounted camera yet ausloten, which hindrances directly before the bow auftürmen, or when it goes itself over a crest again downward.
