Stuttgart, Germany. A dozen years ago at least. I saw my first Land Rover Defender. Fell in love with a car for the first time. And I just had to have one. Two years later, a newly-commissioned lieutenant in the Marines, I bought a 1974 Land Rover III Series. I only owned it a year before selling it and buying a 1994 Land Rover Defender 90. It was the beginning of a romance with Rovers.


Freetown, Sierra Leone. A decade later. I was attached to the British Army and was given a Land Rover Defender 110 to drive for the year I was there.


I found myself back in Germany after that. Bought a 1991 Land Rover Defender 90, which I still own.


Through the years, these rugged trucks have seen me through sand and mud, snow and rock. And they never quit. The name is synonymous with off-roading. The Land Rover has conquered every continent--mostly off the beaten track. I knew I would always own one--and I thought the Defender 90 was the last one.


And then, along came Surus.


Named after Hannibal's mythical one-tusked white Asian elephant, Surus is a 1984 Land Rover One Ten. My wife discovered it online, a low-miles vintage truck that looked poised to take overland. Originally purchased by a rescue swimmer club, Surus ended up in the hands of a wonderful old couple in Lincolnshire, England. They used it on weekends to ferry their grandchildren around the countryside.


We brought it over last year and registered it here in the US. Though the steering is on the right-hand side, it has been easy cruising around the American highways and bi-ways. With a 5-speed transmission, it easily handles sustained speeds of 70-75 miles per hour. On average, we get about 15 miles per gallon (with about 18 on the highway).


We added a forward-facing rear seat for our children. But we left the last row of inward-facing bench seats as well--so the truck seats nine in total.


It's a wonderful old classic. But, we are moving our family overseas and can't afford to take Surus with us. I'm sure we'll own another 110 someday. And I'm sure Surus will find a good home--maybe yours.

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
