    Winning a court case will be the easy bit, enforcing it in China will be the issue.

    Presumably they only copied the appearance, not the legendary reliability :D
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    I assume that's a sarcastic remark considering they are one of the most unreliable cars around?

    I don't want to burst your bubble either but if you talk to a lot of roadside breakdown technicians they will tell you that they attend more BMW's , Mercedes and Land Rover/Range Rovers than any other makes!! 😕

    I don't have a Mercedes any more. Thank you for your concern though. I would also get the AA to have a look at your irony indicator. It doesn't appear to be working as per specification ;)

    Yes it looks a bit like a Range Rover but no more than any of the other look-a-likey cars currently out there. You have to look at the badge on half the cars out there today to figure out what it is, gone are the days of instant recognition.

    But it is the Chinese courts that have found in JLR's favour and against a large corporation so maybe a bit easier than it would be against backstreet factories.
