Nail on the head there i'd say!
Obviously, sales figures and profits prove him wrong perhaps, but he seems to share a lot of views I read on here.

I've always liked his writing, he tells it like it is, and has fallen out with several manufacturers over the years as a result.2011 D4 SDV6 HSE

Still, it beat the XC90 and Q7 in their group test
Though I do agree to certain extent but the sales figures speak for themselves, LR are selling more cars than they ever have.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Heck, he even insulted my car, but I know what he’s getting at
The D3 & 4 are still the best looking (properly traditional) Land Rovers built for a long time,2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
