If they ain't got communications they aint got jack. There will no
doubt be some bleating in years to come when it's another Marque to
bite the dust. Landrover couldn't afford the staff to deal with all
the complaints that an email address would spawn. Would put the spam
to shame.
Besides , they may actually begin to listen to customers and start
producing cars which are reliable , attractive to the eye and deveople
with what the end user wants rather than what gimicks will sell them
to the Corporate business executives who are about the only people who
can afford one new... and long may they continue to take the
deprictaion too.... Blessed are the Exec's!
