    Twit!

    What of the 2.5L versions of the LR engines? The 3.5L stage 1 109s? The
    200 tdi, 300 tdi the storm engine, the BMW diesel engine that the Land
    Rover factory in the UK has been installing and shipping for years? The
    3.9 and other versions of the V8? What about all those Japanese engine
    Land Rovers that roll out of the factory doors in Australia?

    Are you going to tell the Aussies that the car they purchase from their
    Land Rover dealer is not a Land Rover? Are you going to tell the British
    that the cars rolling off the line in the UK are not Land Rovers?

    How stupid can you get!

    When the Defender line comes back to the US will you be walking a dealer
    picket line with a sign proclaiming that they are selling cars that are
    not Land Rovers under the Land Rover name?

    How about suspension?

    A part of the "series Land Rover experience" is the ride. Why are you
    not out there proclaiming that anyone who compromises the series Land
    Rover "feel" with non-Land Rover parabolic springs is no longer driving a
    REAL Land Rover?

    Get a clue and stop being a parochial chauvinistic bigot. There is more
    to the world than North America.
