2009 Land Rover LR3 – Review
It would be pretty easy to blame all of Land Rover’s ills merely on either the economic collapse of the entire industry or the steep decline in SUV sales segment-wide. Of course, if that were the case, than Jeep would be one of the weakest brands instead of one of the strongest. More realistically, they have only themselves to blame for their troubles. A comparison with Jeep illustrates Land Rover’s most prominent mistake. After building one of the strongest reputations on go-anywhere, do-anything capabilities, Land Rover began focusing almost exclusively on becoming a luxury brand, opening themselves up to big losses when money was tight with consumers.
While Land Rover has had high hopes that the LR3 would help make amends for this misdirection, they have only been partially successful.

2011 Range Rover To Be Based On Land Rover LRX Concept
According to sources, Land Rover has confirmed that the Land Rover LRX Concept that debuted at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show in January has been approved for production as the 2011MY Range Rover. Built on the same platform as the Freelander, the Range Rover LRX would sit beneath the Range Rover Sport as the smallest, most compact model in the Range Rover family. Although the 2011 Ranger Rover LRX will feature 5 doors (as opposed to the Concept’s 2) and a slightly revised front bumper, the basic design elements of the LRX Concept will remain unchanged in the production version.
