Bolloré may kill off Disco Sport, XJ, XE, XF...

I suspect that any individual view on which models could be cut does depend on which square mile of the planet we each live on.

The Evoque seems to keep selling as the baby RR, as does the Sport and the main RR. I really like the Velar but it doesn't seem to have set the world on fire so maybe that is going to get trimmed. On the LR side the Defender is going well. I wonder if the Disco products are in the firing line? I don't see many Disco Sports apart from outside bungalows. One wonders if that has a big future and the main Disco in many ways has been surpassed by the Defnder which strikes me as the one you'd move on to from a Disco 4.

The first sentence - very much so. For example Disco Sports are massively popular around here, there are at least 5 in the village (including mine) but I've only seen one Velar and one Discovery.
Anecdotally, I've heard a lot of Discovery buyers are looking at the Defender instead.

Same where I live...near the Surry footballer belt. If I drive into Cobham, which I do regularly, every other vehicle it seems is an LR product. Just to check, today I counted 23 LR vehicles on the road or parked in one mile. Mostly, because of the wealth nearby, they were RRs and Velars.

Generally in this wider area there are loads of Evoques and Disco Sports. I seem to recall the DS was LR's fastest ever selling model (still is?), so not likely to be culled. Also loads of Freelanders around here too which suggests longish life and reliability maybe.

DS reliability is one of the main reasons for hanging on to an FL2...

Well, my own DS is the original 2015 model with the Ford 2.2 engine, done 44,000 miles, no issues at all apart from consumables. About to get annual service and MoT. Mind you, I do have the LR extended warranty.
