I think Tata will pull out of the UK, make cars in the far east and export them back to the UK to what will be a very small market! World wide sales will keep Land Rover afloat but in the UK I think 90% of dealers will go. Stornaway grey SE auto with 18" alloys |

Sorry to hear that lr2m, but I think all of the car makers are getting hammered at the moment, its not as much the green lobby its more that people have stopped buying cars/holidays/houses etc as everyone's afraid that the sky is falling in.

Hope it works out! I know Phil Popham & he's been working hard to convice Tata that emissions are where things are heading and with fuel prices/recession etc maybe Tata management will now listen! Having said that, I bought a FL2 because of the poor mpg on my other car & I'm now getting double my old mpg I don't think the green lobby has won, to be honest everybody has to head that way before the oil runs out, but the economic setup at the moment might bring it into focus... a +60mpg LRX in mass volume will make alot of sense in a couple of years! |

Easy - according to the LRX press release... "The LRX concept marks a bold evolution of Land Rover design, signalling the brand's potential shift into new areas of the market, while remaining true to its core values. As the company celebrates its 60th anniversary during 2008, the three-door LRX, with its more compact size, lighter weight and sustainability-focused technologies, clearly addresses the needs of a changing world and offers the potential of 120 g/km CO2 emissions and fuel economy of 60 mpg (4.7 l/100km) on the European combined cycle." LR2m, Hope you enjoyed your time at Halewood and wish you well for the future. |

Lets hope you are right, I'm not convinced , other hybrids don't really live up to their promises do they? I'd also like to express best wishes to LRm , good luck mate At work At home "I can't always believe facts I read on the web" - Charles Dickens winner by default of the tractor vs caravan race |

Is 4.7 l/100 km easier on the eye? |
