    Factories market their cars in any way to sell cars. Most of JLR's customers are not on this forum as they aren't Land Rover enthusiasts. They buy a Land Rover, mostly, because it's seen as one of the brands to be in. If JLR relied on people like us on the forum, they would have been broke decades ago.
    Maybe it should have been the Range Rover Defender ...........

    It's going to be a range, not just one vehicle. We already know a Defender Sport is coming.

    Bit of a sweeping statement, that you are obviously not an enthusiast if you are not on this forum. Plenty of JLR owners (and enthusiasts) who have different priorities than expressing their opinions on the net. But I agree that JLR would be broke listening across forums. Glad they don't. m

    Don’t reckon it’ll be a sport....I think everybody is referring the to 90 as a sport which is is wildly different to the RR Sport and Disco Sport.
