Can't read the article but to answer the question posed in the OP, yes they can survive a slowing market but they need to focus on the lower end of their price range. There will always be people with lots of money to spend on a FFRR, but the middle ground is supported by people who probably can't keep up the payments if the economy slows. Lots of £70k vehicles won't be sold. But no reason why lots of £30k vehicles can't be sold to those same people. LR's problem is how to get people in to the £30k stuff when it is pretty basic, in terms of luxury feel, compared to their usual £70k choices. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
