Not so many 4's at bargain prices.

I do not know about Australia, but getting a used 4 or even a used 3 at a bargain price over here is getting difficult. It seems with the improved reliability of the 4's, the used vehicles are holding their value more so than in times past.
As such, while I understand the quote above, I think regardless of acceptance, a bargain priced used 4 might be of the past.
Actually we must all hope these new mini D4.5's are so well accepted in the North American market that LR is encouraged to put real effort into the full load, full sized D5, and better yet, keep the 4 in production for as long as it takes to do the D5 right - could just happen.

Most of it isn't really needed, and will only be more gear that may/will play up.
Maybe they should put more effort into increasing reliability,listening to want existing owners want,and reducing servicing costs,running costs,making them easier to work on,etc.
Yes, I know, I am dreaming.....
It seems to me most owners and certainly the passengers want reliability, then safety and of course a bit of style and excitement.
The video talks about heritage and that the product is not technology for the sake of technology.
I take that to mean some at Land Rover are aware of what the heritage might really be and that technology may be the problem.
As to what is offered being the solution, that does puzzle me.
