Land Rover are playing to the prestige and fashion market and playing the game very well. Every Mummy with too much money wants a 4x4, and some of the Daddy's too, and to be a bona fide 4x4 and look right turning up at the horsey show or the golf club, it has to be a Land Rover.
Not that I'd buy her one even if we did have the money, but my wife's dream car is a new Discovery. Every time we pass one on the motorway, she says "Can I have one of those?", at which point I choke on my coffee and reply "they've got the money to buy something really decent, why didn't they?".
