It could be the future of the Christmas advert. My suggestion to Land Rover for 2018 would be have the model range pulling Santa’s sleigh.
Dasher (RR Sport), Dancer (Disco Sport), Prancer (Evoke), Vixen (Range Rover), Comet (Disco 5), Cupid (Velar), Donner (Disco Commercial), and Blitzen (Disco SVX) and of course the new Defender wearing a red nose.

Way too much thought put into that.
With the present advert, I'd love to know the drug they gave the kids to make her sleep thousands of miles. Mine would be asking how long to go X 1 million.

Moo I was hoping the new defender would symbolise JLR being pulled out of its current rut and the gift to us all would be a return to form.

Very nice advert again. The marketing dept is doing a nice job...the design one should get their act together.
Merry Christmas to all!

Really are desperately trying to show us how good the car is even with fuggly looks and being overpriced comparing against D4. And to purchase one ?
LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Missed you this week by 30 minutes. I have to work again.
We’ll be in the snow in 3 days.
Hold the D4. I looked at the XC90; lovely but big bucks.
Hoping that LR will come to their senses with the new Defender.MY91 110 CSW, so long ago I can barely remember it - sold
MY07 D3 TDV6 HSE with all the extras - sold
MY10 RRS TDV8 Dynamic - sold
MY16 D4 SCV6 HSE
MY16 RRS SDV8 Dynamic

Interesting use of "rut" in the context of aforementioned reindeer. JLR in a rut? 2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.
