Found this article very interesting as it reflects my experience exactly

Quote:

With Land Rover moving upmarket, Bradley posits there could be an opportunity for Mitsubishi to move into the vacuum it leaves behind, as the Japanese brand repositions itself as a specialist in ‘proper’ SUVs. ‘Land Rover SUVs are excellent products but they are now relatively expensive. Is there a position underneath that, for tough, reliable SUVs that have ecologically friendly drivetrains, and are a bit more affordable to people?’

Did you prompt that article Muddy?

Nothing to do with me but interesting

Ironically the Discovery was launched following success of shogun and Mitsubishi were pulling out of UK until phev revived their fortune - they're now expanding dealer network and seen end of Defender etc as market to fill  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Hi Muddy
Good luck in the future with the PHEV but please don't keep putting up on the LR forums cause it's an LR forum😀

That's why it's in off topic  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Muddy & The Billy No Mates Forum -- say no more  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

whippetman why open topic if you going to moan about it. Stay away from the "off topic" if not interested. Not being aggressive on this but just think it's daft.  MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

I agree with sweetafton. It's "off topic" so anything not-LR goes in here. It's hardly a difficult concept...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

BUT, Muddy being not JLR is only temporary, he will be back in the fold pretty soon  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

SORRY if I upset you people over previous remarks.
Not meant to cause any harm.
Had a few knocks recently and made me a bit of an old grump of late.
I beg your forgiveness
