Land Rover Announces Year-End 2000 Sales Results; 2000 is Second-Best U.S. Sales Year
LANHAM, Md., Jan. 3 Land Rover North America, Inc. has
announced year-end sales results for 2000, the company's second-best U.S.
sales year. While the year-end U.S. sales figure of 27,148 units represents a
7.6 percent decline from 1999's record year-end result, the decline closely
matches the auto industry's overall sales slowdown. Land Rover currently
sells two model lines in the U.S.: Range Rover and Discovery Series II. A
total of 6,287 Range Rovers and 20,861 Discovery Series IIs were sold in the
U.S. in 2000. Howard Mosher, president and CEO of Land Rover North America,
Inc., said, "Our Land Rover retailers are operating successfully in an
increasingly competitive marketplace. Proof of their solid performance in
2000 comes from the high marks Land Rover vehicles have received in consumer
sales satisfaction surveys. Land Rover will continue to offer excellent
values and an exciting product lineup as we start 2001."
Land Rover sold a total of 2,668 vehicles in the U.S. during the month of
December 2000. Of those, 858 units were Range Rovers and 1,810 units were
Discovery Series IIs.
