Well, this is the one, the end of the year and the final figures, and yet another great year for Jaguar and Land Rover, both finished the year higher than the previous year, where are all the naysayers now, the people that constantly put the company down and protested that they wont do anything, well how wrong you are, this company is constantly bringing out new product, increasing existing shift, building a new engine factory in the UK, new factories in India and China, well, they have nothing to prove, the buying public have done that, well done to Jaguar and Land Rover, this year will hopefully be the same, with new Range Rover and F-Type, sales should continue to grow.

2012 was supposed to be a poor year, another year of credit crunch and no money, but again where the automotive world is concerned teh money is flowing well, 5% higher than last year, that's over 100,000 vehicles, MG and Ssangyong both continue there comebacks with positive year end results, both have new product to come in 2013, however Renault finish the year poorly with a massive 40% drop year on year, there decision to stop selling Laguna, Espace and Kangoo have had a vast negative effect, the Mobility customer lost two of the vehicles they ordered in one swiped, Lotus although a better December had a bad year, continued negative press and speculation on the future of the company from new owners kept buyers away, even with new product sales were very few and even further afield than expected.

Over all the VAG group of companies had the best year with Audi +8.63%, Bentley +22.18%, SEAT +7.51%, Skoda +18.95% and VW +2.12%, Volvo with the surprise cancellation of the C30, its best selling car, finished a not surprising -2.65% down, and Vauxhall nearly broke even, just down 1.05%, I am going to take a punt here and state that 2013 will BE a good year for Jaguar and Land Rover.
