Dear oh dear. More oestrogen on here than Mumsnet. Chill out, 'guys', Midget McGovern is a short ar$e. He makes up for his lack of stature by designing bigger and bigger, taller and taller cars - like his jacket lapels and his Cuban heels. I correctly identified what this event was about - return of cars from the Napa press event. The 'pro' journos at Road & Track didn't - even though they may have been at this event. Perhaps the alcoholic haze gave them amnesia --> cue more hysterical outrage from the 'men' here.
I don't care what you or JLR dealers - totally impartial - say about endless waiting lists for this car/all JLRs. Heard it all before, multiple times. 'Top' journos in 2018 said: 'The Game-changing, rapturously received I-Pace has 25,000 confirmed orders'(S.Cropley, Haymarket Media, c. July 2018). To this day, that car hasn't sold that many - genuine sales.
I really don't care. I do care about outing shills, though, almost certainly paid - Merc1, Scott27, and looks like plenty of others here.
I came back here to offer advice, to these payroll shills - at some point, sooner than later, Tata will pull the plug on the dog and pony show that is JLR, and you may get bilked, for your 'work' - posting endless pictures, from 'fanboys', and vids from also 'fanboys', or 'top journos' - payroll hacks - Lieberman, De Muro, MacKenzie, Cammisa, the new guy at Out of Spec, Kyle Connor?, who crowbars JLR into everything, etc, etc.
The fact is JLR is a huge fraud, been bust, trading illegally for at least 6-7 years, and is only propped up for regime PR purposes. The number of cars it sells, genuine, is tiny and falling fast. It receives press coverage and awards in inverse relation to its size and genuine product excellence - or not - as in JLR being bottom, or near bottom, of every independent quality assessment.
The only thing it competes globally in is the size of its marketing/PR budget - paying all those on the payroll hacks and army of internet shills, cough, 'fanboys', with other marques' names
