RedRover Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Just came across this article about a new Land Rover...phone. https://www.engadget.com/2018/02/22/land-rover-explore-bullitt-rugged-smartphone/ Land Rover Explore ...and if you read the article, you find out this isn't their first go-round on a phone. Here's the list of others I could find. Some of these are real winners. Favorite quote: "It might be the first car-branded phone that isn't terrible." Land Rover S1 Land Rover S2 Land Rover S8 (not sure what happened to the S3 - S7...) Land Rover A8 (they got tired of S?) Land Rover A9 Know of any others?

Elherbinator Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Maybe they should just make phone cases instead. For some reason I don’t This will be taking down the iPhone Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithium1330 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Well, at least we know this Land Rover won’t leak oil or coolant. That’s he good news. Bad news is... high probability of the following still remain:Just about any electrical issue: won’t start, batt drain when not running, batt drain when running, functions that just stop working without reason, then only to start working again without any changes. And overheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlysonH Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Does it come with a 2,000% mark up because it has the Land Rover logo on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elherbinator Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 If this is what the members of a Land Rover club think, who the hell are they going to sell this thing to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Does it come with a 2,000% mark up because it has the Land Rover logo on it?No, only 1000% You have to get the Range Rover edition to get the 2000% markup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkRange Rover driving soccer moms would be my guess. Or wait - soccer dads who want to be rugged individualists. You know, so long as it doesn't mean driving off road or doing anything actually rugged beyond hiring a day-laborer to clean up the yard after a wind storm.

The Landwind X7; a cheap Chinese knock-off of the Range Rover Evoque, has driven into the side of the real deal in a Chinese city - and the bruised pair are even the same colour There is also a copy of the Porsche Macan in China.
