- What does the brand Land Rover stand for? Sturdy off road vehicles. Has it changed over the last few years and do you expect it to change going forward under Tata? Yes, has become more of a luxury vehicle than an offroad. Not sure what Tata will do.
- What are the biggest strengths of Land Rover? Why do people choose Land Rover? Reputation with militaries and proven abilities.
- What are the biggest weaknesses of Land Rover? Why do people choose its competitors? Newer Rovers (Disco II's in particular) have horrible computers and sensors. Someone in the 80's could have designed better computers. Brakes are known problems as well. Pretty much Land Rover had their head in their butts during the Disco II era. Awesome vehicles, poor electronics.
- What can the brand do to grow?
D90 in U.S. TDi in U.S. Offer some other vehicles cheaper with less luxury and more offroad ruggedness.
