New Land Rover ads
More of a whinge than anything. Does anyone really “get” the new batch of Land Rover ads?

I’m really referring to the Velar one where some white dogs get out of the way so a Velar can get to a dinner party!!

It’s hardly winching up the side of a dam is it......

White dogs? Shocked Seems to fit with the three piece suits of that McGovern character. Although, just found that add, and those dogs seem not his cup of tea. Gerry seems more the white well trimmed poodle type to me. Laughing

Land Rover used to have excellent advertising, even still in recent history. Like below for instance.

Same as the latest "youtube/FB sensation" showing the full (very) fat RR racing up some large steps in China...

wow... bet every hillside farmer in Wales is chuffed that they can do that now, far better than towing an Ifor trailer around a grass field.

It’s this ad I’m referring to....



I don’t even know if they’re supposed to be Wolves, they’re rubbish ones if they are!

I suppose I have fallen in line with Land Rover advertising

If I want to drive flat out down a mountain I’ll buy a Range Rover Sport

If I want to annoy some dogs I’ll buy a Velar

Every other scenario a Defender will be perfect for Very Happy

alpha dog ??

To me, in every car ad (that I fail to avoid) there is one thing that doesn't seem to fit in somehow: the car...

I’d forgotten about this ad for the Discovery SVX. No dogs this time but a goat (or is it an Ibex?)



What are they going to use in their ads when they launch the new baby Evoque, a bloody Gerbil?

^^ That ugly thing (= the Discovery) deserves such a poor advertisement. JLR should not have misused the SVX denomination like that.
There is only one truck worthy of using the SVX name with pride, and it is not because of some cheap orange details. Whistle

The thought had crossed my mind. I’d love to make a couple of spoof ads and send them back to Land Rover to see if they’ve still go a sense of humour

Still my favourite



Having worked with JLR closer than I had wanted, they have moved away from their heritage in search of mass production executive markets bigger profit margins, although reliability still plagues the as before.
