And that's without looking at the 27 ECU's waiting to go wrong.

I haven't seen one in the flesh. From what I have seen I like the look of them. Quite very diffrent from my usual taste.

Don't forget it tracks your every movement and reports to JLR.

Except Sirie & Alexa cannot follow you out of the house and tell Plod where you were at the time of a murder.

But they can tell if you had an argument before it or were discussing it

It's a blessing for JLR, they apparently have excess stock like the good old days standing in fields.Well the good news with this C Virus is that JLR have stopped the production lines so less fugly and pansy models .

Havent seen this vehicle or heard anything about it at all
I do hope they have it right and it is a Landy that you can chuck a dead sheep in the back of and not some luxury vehicle that is full of electronics that will break down when a fuse blows

At £40K plus not many dead sheep going to be found in the back, it is a luxury vehicle with, as I said at least 27 ECU's designed primarily to show off on the school run and it does report every aspect of what you do with it to JLR.
My farmer friends these days use the Ford 4 x 4 pick up.

Now that is a pity
The Ford is taking over from the Hilux

The Ford is cheaper to buy, cheaper to fix than the Toyota and the vehicles get knocked about on the farm.

Are the other 58 dead reliable then?
The electronics are the new 'rusty chassis' that will need total replacement after a while

That was the achilles heel of the old DefenderWhat chassis?
The new ones have over complex electronics. If they dumbed the systems down a bit it might inspire confidence that at some point in the next 10 years it isn't going to spend months at the dealership chasing a weird 'fault'
