THE END FOR LAND ROVER?

#1

I agree completely with Johan Wessels’ January letter… Land Rover has lost its way. First, in 2016, they discontinue production of the Defender before a replacement model is available; then, in 2017, they unveil a new Discovery which is more Range Rover than Land Rover.

I say this because Range Rovers exude fashion, while Land Rovers exude adventure. And, let’s be honest, the new Discovery 5 looks more like a fashion statement than a rugged, expedition-style 4x4.

It’s hard to imagine the Discovery 5 in Camel Trophy livery, wading through knee-deep mud on its way from Kinshasa to Kisangani.
