Can the men with money keep Land Rover afloat?

My enjoyment of putting a variety of new vehicles throught their paces at the Land Rover Experience Centre's leading off road track at Eastnor Castle was somewhat marred byt the presence of a group of city types out on a corporate bonding day.

It became clear that these gents were seriously considering buying new vehicles for their corporate fleet. Who, I wondered in these times of economic uncertainty were in a position to be out spending on top of the range 4X4's?

Bank and Corporate Treasury Workers

It is difficult not to see the irony that amidst the turmoil major investment houses and money men continue to make killing playimng global monopoly. Some reports that rapid improvements to international FX trading solutions have been made to accomodate the massive increase in trade volumes.

These chaps certainly held an air of confidence - indeed arrogance as they joked about the common Defender and its slow farmers pace.

The realisation that their decision to purchase new vehicles might help the security of some careers and jobs for Land Rover encouraged me to chat to them about my experience of the models on offer.

The choice they had to make was ultimately between the Freelander or Discovery - the Range Rover being dismissed as being a far too okay yah yuppie vehicle.

Land Rover Discovery

After reading various reports about the shortcomings of the Disco attention turned to the recent reviews of the Freelander.

New Land Rover Freelander - 40 miles per Gallon?

It was with releif that the bankers took notice of the greatly improved fuel economy technology. Tremendous news for drivers wlooking for all the history and status Land Rover is famed for and now prettily packages and wrapped up in a greener parcel that will genuinely improve day-to-day economy.

The new Freelanders are on sale from April 2009 and have a modest £32k price tag.

Lets hope the city boys can hold their jobs and wait for the release of the new land Rover "Green" Freelander
