UK Government approves £27million for Land Rover's LRX!



Perhaps feeling guilty towards their colonization of the India continent a few hundred years ago, the British Government today Okay-ed £27million grant for the current Indian, previously German, then American owned British marque, Land Rover. Of course Land Rover quickly thanked (considering its a hefty 1.9 Billion Indian Rupees) the government and noted the importance of this grant, especially in the development and production of the Land Rover LRX, of which LR claims, as the most efficient, lightweight, small carbon and urban footprint Land Rover ever. I can't see how £27 million could help with the total £400 million needed thou. Moreover, small and lightweight meant environmental conserving? So a family that currently owns a 7-seater Discovery should sell them off and get three small and lightweight, fuel efficient Land Rover LRX?

Rants aside, compared to the current crop of 'Sports SUVs' this is one sex bomb. Slap on two suicide rear doors and produce this please.
