Have you read the comments on this article? Do you sense that peoples perception of the LR brand is why it doesn't do well in US and Canada?

Also, I love the comments about how quality is the reason why sales have plummeted. Did they not read the bit that says that LR has only lost 3% of sales, much less than other SUV only brands, so what does that say about their quality?

it also say that they are cutting 300 people at Halewood

but in another report I have read they are sending 300 employees from Solihul to Castle Bromwich to cope with the demand for the Jag XF which has a waiting list of 3 months and a order book of 22000 orders. Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

But it only says cutting 300 people from the production of the X-Type, so possibly they still need to produce as many FL2s, but X-Type production is right down

Official: Haldex announces AWD system for new Land Rover model. Possibly the LRX. Officially scheduled for 2011 production!



Today Haldex, the AWD systems specialists who also provide systems for the Freelander 2 (LR2), announced that they will supply the AWD system for a new Land Rover model scheduled for production in 2011. We can only speculate that this system is intended for the production LRX. The LRX Concept debuted at the 2008 Detroit Motor Show powered by a US federalized 4-cylinder turbo-diesel hybrid electric powertrain, which delivers up to 50mpg.

Production models might be powered by the same engines as the Freelander 2 (LR2), but we expect a few new transmission options such as dual-clutch unit with the possible addition of paddle-shifters. 2-door and 4-door models are expected and a hybrid electric diesel option should be available at a later date. You can read the official Haldex press release below.

Press Release: Haldex secures AWD order from Land Rover

Haldex has received an order from Land Rover, which is owned by Tata, an industrial group based in India. The order applies to Haldex’s all-wheel drive (AWD) system for one of Land Rover’s new car models.

Land Rover is Europe’s foremost manufacturer of jeeps that satisfy meticulous demands in terms of off-road characteristics. Haldex received its first Land Rover order for an AWD system in 2004. The new order reflects Land Rover’s continued confidence in Haldex’s leading-edge expertise in the field of advanced AWD.

Production is scheduled to commence in 2011.

The annual order value is estimated at SEK 100 million and the order represents a 100-percent increase in Haldex’s existing annual volume from Land Rover.

"As a result of the order, Haldex strengthens its position as an AWD partner with Land Rover and thus also within the expansive Tata Group. Tata Motors Ltd currently manufactures several all-wheel drive car models and the fact that it is located in the heart of one of the world’s most expansive regions represents a considerable advantage", says Joakim Olsson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Haldex. "This transaction also strengthens Haldex’s position in the fuel-efficient cross-over segment".

Seen the LRX in the belgian motorshow for real. It's very nice, but kinda small. I think it will do great for young people who want to drive something exclusive.

Don't know what the price will be, but I think it's gonna be cheaper then the FL2, becouse of it's size.

Do expect it to be a hit. Compared to similar size cars currently out there it's by far the best looking car out there.

If it has some off-road capebilities it would be unbeatable for it's competitors.
