LR once again misses the mark. It will sell in Europe because it’s an econo box with a cool factor that puts it ahead of a Yaris Cross and the like. They have messed up by only doing 4 seats versus a third belt in the back. It’ll have no value as a useful automobile over a Mini Clubman or Countryman.
That’s not even getting into the debate about watering down the Defender name for the sake of sales and having it as a “line” next to “Discovery” and “Range Rover.”
JLR and Gerry McGovern had to just go to
www.Jeep.com and see what models they needed to make and improve upon. Wrangler 4 door with useful cargo space and load carrying. This thing as the Renegade or whatever.
