More interesting, I saw a 4 x 4 on French TV that would appear to be a new take on the Defender, I can't find it on the web but off road the tester said it compared favourably with the LR product and it had nice flat panels for ease of repair.
 
CHINA. Land of the knock off, woz on top gear how they copy everything from the mini to the X7. :car:
 
knock it/them as much as you want..but everything electronic is made in china...

soon...in our lifetime soon so will most vehicles..and YOU will be buying them!!
and why not??its not like the electronics are crap, far from it..apple, etc all china made...so once they get their own designs that can be sold over here without local car companies going to court to stop them (ie rip offs) then we will all be buying them...look at KIA etc..(even skoda)

True, but the likes of apple strictly control the production for off shore manufacturing, as do most companies.
Truth is, china are very good at manufacturing but useless as designing.

so...?all they do is employ european dresigner??

ie the prettiest uk cars in the past have mostly been italian designed..

its coming..as i said, take the kia..god they were pooh..but not now..(and they are mostly knock offs to be fair)
 
They don't employ europeans. Europeans licence their product to be manufactured in china.
Ps. Kia is not chinese, its korean.
Anyway, China is now becoming uncompetitive in a global market, will probably do a full circle & with any chance we will get manufacturing back in the UK some day.
