No to LR, regardless of BMW, Ford or Tata's involvement
There is an independent Land Rover specialty garage on Florida Avenue in Tampa. In years past it didn't have a fence that screened the property from public view, and one day a few years back I was amazed to see four Discoveries lined up with extremely similar serious front end, windshield and roof damage. It looked as though they had all rolled over, and all in nearly the same fashion.
The damage was more on one side or the other, and I can't for the life of me remember whether that damage was on the right or the left, but given the reflexive tendency to steer right in emergency situations and the fact that they were facing north and I was driving north, I would guess the bulk of the damage was on the left side (west in this case) of the vehicles because that is where it would have had to be to make the strongest impression on me (a view from the other side would have showed a broken windshield and some frontal damage, but nothing close to the full extent of the damage).
I wouldn't have one. First it's british, second it's tippy, and third it won't fit in a lot of parking garages.
Still, that three door concept they're showing IS tempting...
