Mark this as just one more victim of the worldwide financial crisis, as Land Rover has announced the cancellation of their G4 Challenge. Instead, Land Rover plans to focus more on new product launches.
"Given the severity of the global economic downturn and trading conditions, we need to make some tough decisions and that means prioritizing our budgets on new product launches. We are disappointed for the competitors who have shown so much commitment and put tremendous effort into succeeding as representatives of their nation. We have and will continue to take swift and decisive actions for the benefit of the business; unfortunately that means the Land Rover G4 Challenge has to come to an early close," said Phil Popham, Managing Director Land Rover.

I would encourage anyone considering the purchase of a new Land Rover to do your research - review customer comments, check JD Powers ratings, etc. I wish I had done so. Unfortunately, I purchased a new LR3 from Land Rover Flatirons in Superior, CO. Nothing but problems with the vehicle - cheap interior parts - electrical problems - frequent mechanical issues. The only thing worse is the service delivered by this dealership - terrible workmanship - no follow up and follow through - won't honor warranties - broken promises. I would encourage anyone considering a purchase of a LR to think twice before doing so - there has got to me more to a car than "good looks".
