Mitsubishi looking to fill gap left by upmarket LR

Found this article very interesting as it reflects my experience exactly Shocked

Quote:
With Land Rover moving upmarket, Bradley posits there could be an opportunity for Mitsubishi to move into the vacuum it leaves behind, as the Japanese brand repositions itself as a specialist in ‘proper’ SUVs. ‘Land Rover SUVs are excellent products but they are now relatively expensive. Is there a position underneath that, for tough, reliable SUVs that have ecologically friendly drivetrains, and are a bit more affordable to people?’

Hi Muddy
Good luck in the future with the PHEV but please don't keep putting up on the LR forums cause it's an LR forum😀

England 2011 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Santorini Black

whippetman why open topic if you going to moan about it. Stay away from the "off topic" if not interested. Not being aggressive on this but just think it's daft. Thumbs Up MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

I agree with sweetafton. It's "off topic" so anything not-LR goes in here. It's hardly a difficult concept... Whistle 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
