@Lex-Rex I had a Discovery and Range Rover and they cost me no end of trouble. I never had any trouble with the defender as it was a simple and easy vehicle to repair and source. I never feared about damaging it not once. Wit the Range Rover I was constantly in fear of scuffing the wheels or scrapping the sides.

Imagine your air suspension giving up in the field while are 20 miles away from home. You will be waiting months for a replacement that is for sure and it will require an army of engineers such as sensor specialists and electrical-mechanical engineers.

The vehicle looks like a old Landrover discovery and Skoda yeti had an illegitimate love child. Only VW and Landrover are not going to admit it.

@andrewnorris5415 It is not just the tariffs. Cars that are sold in China have to be manufactured there. And it also has to be done through an agreed local partner. You will routinely hear people talk about Buick being a big seller in China but it is not a real Buick. It is a special manufacturing licence were the design is given to a Chinese manufacturer to build. GM has a special partnership with SAIC. So that means the Chinese get to keep all the profits while GM get a small design fee.
