Land Rover's been jouncing over rough terrain since 1948, so the current downturn in the automotive industry shouldn't be much of a challenge for the 4x4 manufacturer. Although it's still based in the UK, the company was owned by Ford from 2000 until 2008, when it sold Land Rover and fellow Brit carmaker Jaguar to India-based Tata Motors for about $2.3 billion. (Ford paid $2.7 billion for Land Rover in 2000 and $2.5 billion for Jaguar in 1989.) Models include the Defender, Discovery 3 (marketed as the LR3 in North America), Freelander 2, Range Rover, and Range Rover Sport. To read the full description, subscribe now.

Competitive Landscape for Land Rover
Demand is driven by employment and interest rates. The profitability of individual companies depends on manufacturing efficiency, product quality, and effective marketing. Large companies have economies of scale in purchasing and marketing; smaller companies can compete by focusing on specialized markets. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is nearly $2 million. US-based automakers compete with numerous foreign rivals, including companies such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan that have extensive auto assembly operations in the US. Through stateside manufacturing capacities and exports to the US, foreign carmakers collectively have about half of the US market. US auto manufacturers' financial positions have deteriorated dramatically in recent years. The "Detroit Three" (Chrysler, Ford, and GM) have suffered from import competition and high cost structures. High gas prices, few small car offerings, and near record-low consumer demand during the late 2000s recession drove Chrysler and GM into bankruptcy, where their debts were restructured. Chrysler and GM also received billions in loans from the US and Canadian governments. Ford, which has joined GM and Chrysler in various government incentive programs but has not received direct federal investment, avoided bankruptcy largely due to more than $20 billion in secured and unsecured loans it took out in 2006.
