FWIW, when I had my Landrover it was decidedly domestic and well-established
in the market here.  Add to that that I bought it privately and it was over
twenty years old.  When I took it to the local dealer for servicing, I was
always offered a new Range Rover to use.

Landrover's coffee sucks too.  So does the Italian embassy's.  Apparently I
caused a great deal of trouble by sending my coffee back when I was there :-)
