2012 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 SW Indus Silver

Thanks for posting that Eric. Wow, earnings dropped 96%!!!

I take it that investment in new technologies and new products can account for some of that. Marketing in the expanding (if it still is) Asian markets can also be a reason.

Still doesn´t sound too good, does it? 1998 Tdi 90 SW,
2008 Td4 90 SW,
2012 2.2 90 SW,
2" raised Trailmaster/Terrafirma
Heavy Track Raids, 255 MT´s,
Recaro CS´s, anorak, wellingtons

Ineos - give us a sign!

Update:
This passed me by ten days ago. I thought it was just more PR stuff, but this link actually says they are going ahead with it http://www.ineos.com/news/ineos-group/ineo...ff-roader/

Guys,...I reckon JLR are doing ok,....just have a look at their number of sales and the new factories that they are opening.
I would suggest, that as far as UK based manufacturers are concerned, JLR is doing,.....OK.

I think pickles is correct, JLR are doing ok. That said, my daughter works within the automotive industry and apparently the LR dealers are discounting heavily to get volume. Its a strange business model really, building a series of vehicles that are so so similar. Whilst not my cup of tea, i think that the disco 5 will do well. That said, i don't feel the same affinity to the brand as i once did. I think its that that disappoints me. The fact that such an iconic brand has deserted its core values. Look whats happened to the servicing costs for our defenders. They are outrageous compared to a few years ago. I don't know if its down to greed or need.
