    Toyota makes these claims to the gullable, unfortunately they are plentiful.
    Or maybe fortunately.......if the all bought landies they'd be very hard to come by!

    I would suggest you take them up on their offer of a test drive of the greatest 4wd ever. Take it where you want and get a mate with a fenda to tag along.....that could be interesting!

    the most capable truck as standard the moment would be the Rubicon Wrangler, 33in tyres and front and rear lockers as standard, that instantly makes Toyotas claims rubbish, and they havent taken the fender and the D3 into account, i dont care whats on the new Toyota, its still not as good as a D3 off road. But it does have push button start.

    How so? I haven't heard any complaints from LR head office about sales figures.

    G'day Folks

    It will be interesting now that Ford has sold LR, to see if Land Rover Australia gets anymore automomny and will be able to import more vehicles, seenin that Ford can't control the market share for LR and seeing that TATA wants to become a Global Manufacturer and Marketing force It could herald a new era for Landrover

    BTW. the only way that Toyota got into the Snowy Scheme was that Thiess Bros were the contractors and that one (Cecil) took on the then unknown Toyota Distributorship for Australia, and the relaxation of import restrictions.

    cheers

    Try these:

    For a very popular shampoo:-
    "Bendy Flexy Technlogy"

    For a recently advertised hair thingy:-

    "Iso-ceramic technology"

    These days you can claim anything, make odd comparisons such as "Energiser Akalines outlast Duracell (standard heavy duty)"

    Cosmetic companies are the best at it though
    Red Rooster.

    Go in to one of their stores and try and buy a 1/4 rooster and chips.

    More false advertising!

    If you look at LR sales for the last month they are on a par with names like Ferrari & Porsche

    Its bleedin obvious that the Land Rover is an elite car
    Without being tongue in cheek, you are right.

    Clearly LR are focussing their sales on the upper end of the market. They aren't interested in competing with Toyota, Nissan, Etc.
