wymberley Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Just been talking to my nephew who I discovered worked on the cars for the Subject film. It seems they destroyed a couple of the new Defenders while filming - well, over two dozen actually.

oowee Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I heard that the stunts are part of the JLR advertising. I guess that will not include the triumphant Toyota part 🙂 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 They couldn't scrap enough of the behemoths to satisfy me, saw one recently and nearly upchucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see farmers/gamekeepers loading livestock or food stuffs in tge back after spending "How much" Maybe why everyone switching to Toyota and the Army to Pinz. Huge missed opportunity by LR.

spandit Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 It's weird seeing someone set to a brand new car with a hammer and chisel to match the dings on all the others ones for continuity. Good film but it seems that JLR products roll over far too easily for my liking (and I was behind a Discovery today which looks like it was designed in a fairground mirror) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 They really do have a nerve even using the title Land Rover in my view. The real Land Rovers died when the Defender was discontinued and the Mk1 Rangie was also terminated although by then it had also become a Chelsea Tractor internally.

JLR is also about to shoot themselves in the foot by going all electric which will kill their US sales dead, and, as many of the Chelsea school run mums don't have off street parking & charging, the only market left for Land Rover will be China.

Interesting hot-take, but given how JLR have massively increased their sales thus far by going all 'chelsea tractor', I'd expect their S&M department would have researched this in great detail, no? As for EVs not being appealing to the US market, on what planet exactly? The US is gobbling up EVs at quite the rate -admittedly skewed towards both coasts, but then I'd suggest that's where most of JLR's sales are anyway? Even Ford now does an all electric F-150. Not noticed particularly poor sales of that. The biggest risk to the US Market, as ever is reliability issues and dealer aftercare, where JLR aren't exactly excelling. Bares repeating: All those bemoaning the demise of the Defender and 'proper' Land Rovers invariably aren't the people who buy new vehicles! You cannot as a car manufacturer design a vehicle to appeal to the second-hand market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
