Whilst it's undeniable that true LR enthusiasts will look down on some of JLR's latest products the company has to keep up with market trends & the aspirations of today's buyers are far removed from the 'old guard' who kept the manuf. afloat years ago. This trend is not confined to JLR, another equally well known SUV maker dropped it's long established range of 'proper' (V8's & straight sixes) power plants years ago, fitted car derived small diesels instead & now their latest model range is based on a stretched Fiat 500 floor-pan

New “discoveries” aren’t even anything like discos. It’s a shame, I get go with the trend for the sake of sales but holy **** have some integrity as a brand to continue what built the brand.Whilst it's undeniable that true LR enthusiasts will look down on some of JLR's latest products the company has to keep up with market trends & the aspirations of today's buyers are far removed from the 'old guard' who kept the manuf. afloat years ago.

Sheeple follow market trends, manufacturers compete with one another to create those trends. No one I know is happy with all the unreliable electronic guff you find in modern vehicles. Having said that, JLR under TATA have done an amazing job in conning the public into believing all that crap is desirable, they are selling like hot cakes, mostly abroad so good luck to them.Whilst it's undeniable that true LR enthusiasts will look down on some of JLR's latest products the company has to keep up with market trends & the aspirations of today's buyers are far removed from the 'old guard' who kept the manuf. afloat years ago.

It worries me to think about buying cars in the future. Cars with screens and systems that connect to mobile phones so you can fūck about with that sending messages instead of using mobiles while driving... Then after a few years when the system bugs out like an old mobile phone and the car could potentialy become useless....

That is precisely the reason I bought an old RRC, I am now at an age when I believe this may well be the last car I own, I wanted something that would potentially last me the next 10/15 years and something that I could fix myself to a reasonable extent.
So I'm still having the odd problems with the central locking, and this morning I couldn't lock the car at all, (different problem) so out with the spray lube and all cylinders now working. Until the next time.
There are more and more people starting to think the same... Maybe not their last car... but holding onto older vehicles.... For simplicitys sake..

You & me both, I've little time for modern stuff.
I may be old but still capable (both mentally & physically) of deciding when I need to turn the lights or wipers on/off without a auto device doing it for me & I can even bend down to check tyre pressures.
nb: on that last, I'm amazed at the number of drivers that genuinely believe that they only need to be checked/inflated when the car is serviced
