I heard the CEO on TV this morning and the impression that I got was that there would be an electric version available in every model range, not that all cars would be electric.

A mate just ran a hybrid ffrr v6 diesel down to Morocco. Driving like he'd hired it and doing 80-90 all the way, it got a genuine 36mpg. He described it as 'a bit quicker than your tdv8 sport'.

Said it was an OK place to be for a few hundred miles

They've now stopped making that, though, haven't they?

BBC 6 o'clock news say ALL JLR cars from 2020 are all electric, and will no longer produce petrol nor diesel!

So what happens to SVR and the likes? I can see the price of used v8,'s - SVR,'s coming upto that date sky rocketing as they will be relics soon after that date.

I'm keeping mine for good then and should pick up a mustang too so I can show the gran children what petrol sounds like. MY18 SCV8 Satin flux silver

With respect, that's not what was said. They said there would be an electric version of every model.

Fair enough perhaps I heard it wrong, I was having tea at the time hohumm  MY18 SCV8 Satin flux silver

Typical media, and the BBC was not alone in misreporting both this and the earlier Government statements.

Because of the major effects this misleading journalism can have on both new sales and residuals, they should be culpable.

But of course the media never pay for their mistakes, do they............. unless they libel someone with deep pockets. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Apparently diesel car sales are down 20% in the UK.
