Thread: Land Rover Sales Figures 2018

Yes hopefully if / when the Defender is announced on the 27th??? There will be at least a hybrid version if not full EV, otherwise sales might stall from the start... I wonder if this is the real reason they're taking so long to launch it. The rapid speed of EV design and take up over the past year alone, along with so many major cities declaring they'll ban diesels in the near future, would have had a huge effect on their launch planning.

There is no sign of Diesel prices coming down as a result of the above, although perhaps the consistent upwards trend at the moment is more about the holiday period approaching, than world oil prices? Either way $1.70L is looking like the norm! and why 10c+ more than unleaded?

The usual... "The major factors driving higher prices were an increase in international crude oil and refined petrol prices, and a lower Australian-US dollar exchange rate," ACCC chair Rod Sims.

The other thing that could happen with a hard Brexit by default, which is looking more and more likely - is that the value of the british pound might plummet, making Land Rovers more affordable elsewhere by default.

Hopefully though, the disaster of the Brexit debate will lead to another vote! you never know.
