There will be a few hungry salesmen stalking BMW and VW/Audi showrooms looking for customers I'll bet!

That figure had risen to 20,000 on September the 10th when we had our briefing at the Unleashed event. I suspect it is substantualy higher now given they have been in the showrooms for 5 weeks now!!

When I spoke to some of the guys at the dealer launch event, they said they were rushed off their feet with orders, while some other local dealers were badly struggling to sell anything... Survival of the fittest, just don't get too blase LR and get the ordered fulfilled!

Production today was something like 4 evoques to 1 freelander when I was there on a tour, the line was going surprisingly slow to what I thought it would be
