I expect other news outlets will pick the story up soon.

I guess that is the way things are going.

But I think that the real issue that JLR has is the work on the Discovery’s identity. As in there are too many overlaps in the range. It’s too big for a small family, it’s too soft to be the off reader the marketing people want you to believe, it’s too posh to be a work horse, if you want to be more upmarket, get a Range Rover.

The only thing JLR haven’t done is cut the roof off and turn it into a two seater…….
