With bulldog tenacity and a savvy shift down-market, Land Rover came out on top of the U.S. auto market in 2015, the industry’s busiest year since the horse and buggy.
The blue-blood British brand, owned by Tata Motors, sold 70,582 vehicles in the U.S. last year, a 37 percent increase over its 2014 tally. No other major carmaker accelerated as quickly, as the industry overall notched a 5.2 percent increase in vehicles sold.

Good news but how come the Discovery Sports are so cheap in the states?? $37400 equates to roughly £26700!!!! You can't even buy a secondhand one in the UK for that money

Not sure the article is correct?

Or for about £16k you can have a new one of these monster trucks www.ford.com/trucks/f150/trim/xl/

I know someone in the US navy who is working in the UK for a few years. She has a LHD BMWX5 that was shipped over for her rather than buy a car locally. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

a lot of US service people get their cars shipped to UK. many to be seen in harrogate due to menwith hill base

Glad to see you are doing your bit

Discovery Sports starts around $37000 (US) / $41000 (CAD) for entry SE models. But you'll have to put in a special order to get one. Unfortunately the ones you will find on dealers lots are HSE's averaging around $46000 (US)/ 48000(CAD). Same as when the LR2/Freelander 2 was new, you couldn't find a base model anywhere. I've only seen 2 base (non Xenon) LR2's ever (Except for on UK trips)
