Yes it will be interesting to see how JLR deal with this. Some other manufacturers have a more balanced 'fleet' which offers choices.

As the these later cars offer much more cleaner emissions (on paper) we will be encouraged to dump our old tech cars (not very old cars). BUT !

The biggest cause of pollution in towns is the poor traffic management systems they have. In Southampton, our local town, you spend more time sat still at traffic lights than you do moving. You can often have a green light but cannot go because the next one on is still at red. Don't worry, as soon as most have changed from diesel they will find another reason for another change. As Jack Frost said "just another reason to shaft us. Of course the energy and therefore pollution caused from building new cars gets forgotten about. Remember there are never problems, just new challenges |

Very happy with my 177kW petrol engine! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Tony you forgot to add the cost of keeping them on the road having stuffed us all with cars that now carbon up. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current |

That's one of the reasons I have decided to keep my 2008 GS, not too many toys to go wrong and still does what I want from a car. Remember there are never problems, just new challenges |

Saw a heavily disguised very quiet ELECTRIC LR in the car park at Eastnor today. That's where it's heading, although I don't see it as feasible over any distance. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

I thought there were petrol versions of many cars (including LR) which are not imported due to our stupid tax rules. The i6 was common enough abroad as is the v8 petrol D4. Nice |
