2012 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 XS Auto Santorini Black

Despite the fact that some of the above assumptions are wrong and fail to understand the overall JLR business (it doesn’t revolve aound one model.....) you think selling more of the £70-90k models and more of the £80-100k models but ‘less’ of the £50-70k has JLR weeping into its beer......

2016 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 Landmark LE Auto Santorini Black

I’d have thought losing over £4m a day would have at least have JLR shedding the odd tear into their beer. Let’s hope that they quickly turn things around. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE
2017 FFRR SDV8 Autobiography (now semi-retired)

My d5 does everything the d4 did in a better, more advanced package...maybe the trick is to be more negative on the foreign rubbish and more positive about British?

Does that make it clearer? 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄

2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

S&P Global Ratings said it has reaffirmed 'B+' on Tata Motors' long-term issuer and issue credit ratings while keeping negative outlook due to high cash burn at its British arm Jaguar Land Rover, geopolitical risks such as Brexit and the US tariffs, and India's automotive market slowdown.

Daimler’s rating is pretty good - investment grade https://annualreport.daimler.com/ar2018/co...t-ratings#

In any case the rating affects company WACC -> a worse rating means it costs more to borrow for Tata/JLR

2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Landmark LE Auto Indus Silver

The VWs are good looking cars. Not driven one but anyone I know who owns one is very happy with it.

The D5 is definitely a marmite car. I'm looking forward to the Defender coming out but worried it will have the usual Landrover build/customer service issues that I read about (although can't fault our dealer, they have been amazing both buying and servicing and fixing).

My11 HSE - 2011- 2016. Stornoway Grey

2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 HSE Auto Corris Grey

Hi Pollski
Since you are in Kent, like me I'm interested to know which dealership you refer to when you say you have had good service. Can you let us know?
Thanks Gary
