Yeah, I'm not sure at all. It was more of just open questions. Are the sidesteps for crash safety for the LR4, or cars that crash into them because of ride height? But the ride height doesn't make sense, because what about all the other SUVs out there that have a simular ride height. And in...
I'm not 100% sure, but it's my understanding the LR4 design for crash certification starts with the original classification date, and is grand-fathered in... e.g., once certified, it doesn't require re-certification when new laws change or go into effect until the vehicle is redesigned within a...
This is the side effect from a concept car look. It fades quickly and there is nowhere to evolve the design, you can only go backwards. I said this last year and this design direction is going to bite LR. The Evoque has become quite dorky looking... And the sentiment is going to carry over to...
I'd expect a new engine replacement, serious failure. Sure, it can be dismantled and cleaned, but really? Plus, you've driven it in this condition which cannot be good for the motor, proper lubricants etc.. Really sorry.
Me too. I think when my truck is ready to traded in I may move to another brand. Only the FFRR appeals to me now. We'll see. The G is a great alternative. Strange how much LR changed in such a short time. And I think the LR5 is going to the ultimate mall mobile.
Please send me pics! I bet your rig looks awesome by now. I've been so preoccupied as of late. Just very busy at work and at home. Would love to join you guys but I have work on the 3rd and have a dentist appointment on the 4th. :frown:
Photographer? Awesome :proud:
I'm ready to get my...
I'm concerned about the brand as well. When my LR is due for a trade, I'm not really sure if I'll remain in the brand. I'm disappointed in the new products. They are okay, but not product differentiators anymore. One could easily horizontal shop and stray to another brand now. It never used to...
I think sales will hold steady and/or increase for early '14 but slowly subside by June '14 and then decrease substantially into '15 where LR will be forced to re-strategize their position before being spun-off from Jaguar to yet another holding company who will attempt to revise the brand and...
Sure, we may be the majority, but marketing and brand isn't.
I'll make another bet. I bet $50 dollars that within 1.5-years, the transfer-case becomes standard again on the upstream models, after LR marketing wakes up to the fact that they've blundered big time.
I hate that LR has done all this consumer research (Deloitte-approach, value engineering mind-set) and decided to optionalize the transfer case. Especially on the LR4. Just because 90% of people don't use it, doesn't mean it didn't give people a peace-of-mind and provide an amazing value prop...
What a bloody shame... What is LR thinking????!!
I'm losing faith. :mad:
What do folks, who have already pre-ordered the 2014, get by default because the didn't know/order the HD package? I'd be furious. I foresee a lot of order cancellations!
I'm grateful I have a 2013.
Obvious end of an...
Hey David,
I'd love to join you guys this weekend but I have family coming in for a quick visit. But thank you kindly for the invite.
I'm not in love with a lot of LR's new direction. But I'll hold my opinions to myself because if I truly expressed how I feel I'd probably be banned from the...
