Latest nasty move by Ford is to threaten to close Land Rover's only production plant in the UK. (All Land Rovers are made in Solihull).
What Ford really want is the name, so they can stick it on their awful Explorer wagons.
I've bought my 10th Land Rover, I managed to get one of only six special wagons made. I bought it just as Ford took over from BMW, figuring that once the yanks got hold of Land Rover, that would be the end of the marque. Subtlety, sophistication and style don't exist in the US. Looks like I was right, check out the new Disco 3, looks like a Ford pickup truck.
This will be my last Land Rover, after 25 years of owning them and many millions of miles of driving in nine countries. I'm keeping it, of course, but I'll never buy another one.
