Thread: Name change

I laughed… who cares….

Oh well,that should confuse buyers even more.

Jag all electric from 2025,i wonder how their sales will go then.

Makes perfect sense to me. They stop making 'em, stop calling 'em.

I feel they have missed an real opportunity....they could have called it a Tata Ranger Rover or Tata Defender, etc.

I see what you did there..

Modern land rovers have nothing to do with what the name stands for. I do not doubt the modern defender is still a very capable vehicle off road, under certain artificial circumstances but no. Like has been said above, they stopped making them in 2016 (and before that) so why bother using the name. It has become a bit of a joke. A shame really since this site owes it's name to the brand, it's just that the brand has grown away from it's users.

I wonder how many brands will fall to this fate with the EV-i-fication of just about everything...

That's what makes the Ineos so interesting.

Something about deck chairs and the Titanic springs to mind.
