On the Bronco - $100 deposit, but it is fully refundable. On the D90 I think in the states the 500 were allocated to dealers, not a car you can order. What would be the point, it only comes one way. My dealer said they had 3 allocated but they were already spoken for. One has an agreement that it will remain in the showroom for a certain period. I am not sue how much stock I put into things that salesmen tell me though.

Whether it's the Defender, the new C8 Corvette or the new Bronco, I believe the model is to take the temp on demand before diving in on maxing out the supply chain. Nothing could be worse than a glut on dealer lots. In all three of these cases though, I think they grossly underestimated demand and now have supply chain problems - throw in Covid and it means JLR can't deliver Defenders in a timely manner to avoid people cross shopping other vehicles. The Bronco may face the same issue, but it has a much wider audience. The C8 is bullet-proof. It's next closest competitor costs twice as much and is no where near the same performance level.

I am seeing more (numbers) of 110s at dealers - interestingly some are still First Editions . Not sure how the "First" Editions are not beating to port regular allocation and customer orders.....It is telling that I can't even configure a 90 on the US site as I can on the UK site though. I'm guessing that means a long wait is in store.

I think most farmers have moved on from 90's. They mostly seem to use double cab PU's if they want towing or for around the fields they use 4x4 buggies, like from kubota, polaris, john deere etc. smaller, cheaper to own, less ground pressure etc etc.

3-4 weeks ago there were just over 200 110s on US lots per cargurus.com which I find to be a comprehensive source. There are currently 179 available despite certainly more orders / dealership deliveries. So demand is outpacing supply and the float is shrinking, in the US at least.

Isn't there an official JLR North America website with a full dealer search function?

179 or 200 doesn't sound like much inventory to go around the full dealer network. Do you know how many there are?

If demand is outpacing supply, rather than dealers cutting inventory because demand is lower, then I'd expect the discounts previously shown to be removed. Is that happening?

Have a look here:

216 currently available ~ I wouldn't use your logic to suggest the complete opposite of your conclusion ~ but would you?

And then a 2nd search, with the same search filters, brings up more:

Are people handing them back?

Can it really be that hard to get something like this correct:
