The newest Land Rover design consultant: Victoria Beckham

The newest Land Rover design consultant: Victoria Beckham

You have got to be kidding me. It has been around ten years now and I just had the Spice Girls erased from my brain and now I have to bring it all up again. It has never been a secret that putting hot women in front of hot cars is a sure way to sell them, the cars not the women. Land Rover has announced the most daring evolution of that marketing scheme ever devised. The new plan is to let the hot women design the car. Continue Reading…

Range Rover still going strong after celebrating its 40th birthday this June

Range Rover still going strong after celebrating its 40th birthday this June

1970 was a landmark year for the Land Rover. This marks the year that the first Range Rover rolled out of a UK factory. Since then, the manufacturing of the Range Rover is going strong. Let’s find out some information on what’s been up with the RR since its debut in 1970.

The 1st RR, like some early versions of the Chicago Land Rover LR4, was pretty basic.  It was designed with vinyl seats and a plastic dashboard!  The idea was to be able to clean the inside by spraying it with a hose!   Can you imagine that, thinking about the current RR’s that are so luxurious?!?

Land Rover sales hit record high

Land Rover sales hit record high

Land Rover models are selling really well, in different parts of the world.  This is great news for Tata Motors, the company that owns Land Rover.  The country where Land Rovers sell the best is the UK, where LR is based.  March 2010 was the best month of sales ever there: 11, 300 units were sold total.  That is a lot of Chicago Land Rover LR4 models to hit the roads in one month!

Sales are up in other countries too.  Other European Nations, such as Switzerland, Spain and the Netherlands, to name a few, contain dealerships that are selling an increased numbers of  Range Rovers, Range Rover Sports, Discovery 4′s and Freelander 2 models.   In China, sales of Land Rover models increased two fold, making it the third largest LR market, behind the UK and US.  It’s not surprising, Land Rovers/Range Rovers are great SUVs with so much to offer.

The 2010 Land Rover LR4 HSE: performance trumps practicality

The 2010 Land Rover LR4 HSE: performance trumps practicality

The 2010 Chicago Land Rover LR4 is for sale at your local dealer and it’s a great SUV for a family, someone who has a lot of “stuff” to haul around, or anyone really.  It has a lot of space, performs well, and is beautiful on the inside and out.  Let’s take a look.

Space and comfort wise, the LR4 is very good.  There are up to 3 rows of seating for 7 people.  Legroom for your passengers is ample, great for my Uncle Jim who is a bit of ‘burly’ guy with some knee issues, as he’ll need to stretch out.  With the rear seats folded down, there is 90.3 cubic feet of cargo space.  More than enough room to get everything in your LR 4 that you might need for your family road trip this summer!
