They'll never do it, but LR should come out with a "Street" or "Lite" (or some other trendy sounding name) sub-brand where all that off-road hardware is replaced with a coil spring and a shock absorber only. Much of the reason LRs/RRs in the US become maintenance nightmares in a few years is massively expensive off-road hardware is never used at all. The engines and (ZF) transmissions are virtually never the problem (look at Hyundai with millions of burned up/recalled engines over the past five years----never happens with a JLR product). The problem is the air springs, valves, articulation joints, the electronic control modules and cameras, etc. all that stuff underneath every LR/RR sits there unused for years in the United States. Like any mechanical system, much of it is self-lubricating and if never used, parts get brittle, or seize, or otherwise decay far sooner than they would if they were used regularly. In America, people buy LR/RR because they look great, perform great, and are very luxurious; LR/RR throws in the off-road hardware for no benefit here as no one uses it. Just take it out. Make an LR-America sub-brand or something where the vehicle is purely the luxurious Mall-crawler it is used as here and much of their reliability problems would go away. I'd love to buy one of these, but I never go off-road so what is the point?
