Land Rover LRX Making Its Debut
| Land Rover will be showcasing its smaller, four wheel drive concept vehicle in Detroit. The Land Rover LRX is being designed to fit below the LR2 and is categorized as a cross-coupe or compact SUV. Looking very much like a modern Land Rover, the LRX takes Rover's family design to the next level with its tight styling and aggressive stance. Land Rover says the LRX will feature advanced green technologies, and while it will be tuned for the highway, will still have the Hill Descent Control and Terrain Response systems found in the rest of the Rover lineup.

Ford Motor Co. has picked India's Tata Motors Ltd. to buy its Jaguar and Land Rover units
Ford said in a statement that it has entered into "focused negotiations at a more detailed level" with Tata, which means Tata has been picked as a preferred bidder for the storied British automakers.
"There is still a considerable amount of work to do, and while no final decision has been made, we will proceed with further substantive discussions with Tata Motors over the forthcoming weeks with a view to securing an agreement that is in the best interests of all parties concerned," Lewis Booth, executive vice president of Ford's European units, said in a statement.
Jaguar and Land Rover employees in the United Kingdom were told about the negotiations Thursday morning shortly before the company made the announcement.
Ford executives have said they expect to announce the sale of the two British automakers early this year.
