A quote from Land-Rover The Unbeatable 4X4: "However, with the wisdom
of long experience, the management have always dug their toes in and
maintained that the function of the Land-Rover is well defined and clear
cut: it is a utility vehicle, and no more than that. Too much styling
and softening could only detract from what has made it so universally
useful and successful. ... If the Land-Rover team were to bend their
ideas towards a more prestigious vehicle it could never be called a
Land-Rover, and could certainly not resemble a Land-Rover in appearance."
Maybe that's why the hyphen was dropped?
