In most of the countries SUV Cars is known through different names like Off-road vehicle, four-wheel drive or in short as 4WD or 4×4 which is pronounced as four-by-four. However, all the models of this car do not possess four wheel drive capabilities or all 4WD passenger vehicles do not belong to this type. Off-road vehicles are different kind of vehicles as they are mainly used for driving in the off-road area. Though this car might be used for driving in the off-road area but it is its secondary role and most of this car does have the advantage of changing from 2WD, 4WD low gearing and 4WD high gearing.

Currently there has been many complaints against SUV Cars stating that they drive like trucks and demands for carlike ride in its latest model. One of its latest model crossovers SUV has been designed for lighter weight and better fuel efficiency. However, the manufacturers do not design it any more or rather does not recommend it for towing or for driving in off-road area. Though its designs vary a lot nowadays but originally it was constructed with mid-size passenger vehicles which used body-frame technique like the techniques used in light trucks.

SUV Cars run with the use of either gasoline or diesel and often have analog engines for pickup trucks. They are well-known worldwide for their high ground clearance and upright, boxy body. They have been especially designed by experts to better their aerodynamic characteristics and enhance their overall fuel economy on grounds of the increasing fuel economy. They are the descendants from military and commercial vehicles like Jeep and Land Rover. These cars have done a good business worldwide and especially in the rural areas for their off-road usage facility.

Some of the wagon type SUV Cars which were manufactured in early times includes Willys Jeep Wagon (1948), and then launched the Land Rover Series in II 109 (1958), then emerged the International Harvester Scout 80/800 in 1961. Their experts utilized some more modern and better techniques and launched a series of cars under the same brand name including Jeep Wagoneer in 1963, Ford Bronco in 1966, the Land Rover Range Rover of 1970 and lots of them. Recently the popularity of this car has increased to an enormous rate even in urban areas as it has come out with various lucrative features.

Luxury car leasing is different :It’s not that luxury cars for sale are more expensive, or that the leasing process is different, but because the consumer doing the leasing is typically different.

Luxury car consumer :
High-end automotive consumers have different priorities, different values, bigger bank accounts, and prefer to transact business differently than people acquiring less expensive vehicles. They have a tendency to lease rather than buy. “High-line” vehicles are leased at the rate of 50% - 70%, depending on brand, compared to only 20% - 30% for non-luxury models.

Luxury auto consumers tend to value time, efficiency, quality of service, and business relationship when dealing with financing. Spending a great deal of time shopping and haggling for bargain deals is less important that establishing a relationship with a company they can trust and depend on to genuinely look out for their interests. High-end customrs tend to be more loyal to a brand and a dealership over a long period of time.

Luxury automobiles make the best lease values, dollar for dollar, due to high lease-end residual values relative to MSRP. In fact, luxury vehicles, as a category, are leased significantly more often than vehicles in any other category. The best lease deals are for Lexus car, Mercedes car, Porsche car, Land Rover car, and BMW car, with the highest future resale values, or residual values, relative to their original cost. A high residual value creates a low monthly lease payment.

In fact, a better lease deal can often be obtained by leasing a high-residual luxury car than by leasing a car with a lower residual value, even though the price of the luxury car is the same or greater. This is the reason smart automotive consumers tend to lease a luxury vehicle. Being smart about money is a typical characteristic of high-end car leasers. High-line leasing consumers are not trying to save a few bucks — they have the money to buy the car they want. They simply know that it’s not smart to put money into depreciating assets (automobiles) when that money could be used for more productive purposes.

Independent lease companies and luxury cars :
More than 20% of luxury automobile consumers finance their loans and leases outside of car dealerships. Independent lease companies such as Primelease can, in most cases, beat luxury car dealers on prices and lease rates because high-end manufacturers don’t subsidize deals and offer incentives nearly to the extent that low-mid-range vehicle manufacturers do. Furthermore, luxury car dealers don’t like to be viewed as “discounters.”

Finance companies who lease luxury cars typically require their clients to have “prime” credit ratings. Lower credit scores can mean higher lease rates, large down payments, and security deposits — and possibly higher insurance rates. For high-line vehicle leases an independent lease company can be more flexible and responsive to customers’ needs than dealers, who are restrained by car manufacturers’ rules. For example, when new models come out and are limited in dealers’ inventories, independent lease companies can search the entire country for the exact car you want.

Benefits of leasing luxury cars :
People who lease high-line cars like the convenience of a quick easy business transaction, like having a new style car every two or three years, like avoiding maintenace and repair headaches, and like avoiding disposing of used cars. They also like the option of minimizing cash outlay.

In summary, luxury car leasing is different, the people who lease luxury cars are different, and the companies who lease luxury cars are different.

Ford Motor Co. is selling its storied Jaguar and Land Rover brands to India’s Tata Motors Ltd. in a deal that will net the U.S. automaker $1.7 billion — roughly a third of the price it paid for the two luxury brands.

The deal announced Wednesday will expand the Indian carmaker’s reach around the globe and give Jaguar and Land Rover badly needed capital to update and expand their product lines.

The agreement had been in the works for months as cash-strapped Ford sought money to fund its turnaround plan.

Tata will pay $2.3 billion for the British brands, but Ford will pay about $600 million into the Jaguar-Land Rover pension fund when the deal closes, Tata’s statement said.

Ford bought Jaguar for $2.5 billion in 1989 and Land Rover for $2.7 billion in 2000. But the Dearborn-based automaker has been struggling and wants to focus on its main brands.

Selling the companies at such a loss clearly shows buying them was a mistake for Ford, said Erich Merkle, vice president of auto industry forecasting for the consulting company IRN Inc. in Grand Rapids.

Jaguar never has made a profit under Ford, Merkle said.

“You have to cut your losses at some point. It’s been draining them of cash and resources,” Merkle said.

The net proceeds aren’t enough to rescue Ford’s finances, but the sale will allow the company to focus on its core Ford brands, Merkle said.

Tata should have the cash to save the brands and develop new products to better compete with luxury automakers such as BMW AG, Merkle said.

Tata said it expects no significant changes in the terms of employment for Jaguar and Land Rover’s 16,000 workers. It said the transfer of the brands would take place at the end of the second quarter.

The sale raises the Tata conglomerate’s profile on the world stage, said V.G. Ramakrishnan, the lead auto analyst with the consulting firm Frost and Sullivan India.

“This is another important landmark step of showcasing that Indian companies are arriving on the global landscape,” Ramakrishnan said. “Many people will see this deal as the future of things to come — you will see more companies out of India acquiring global companies. They want to be seen as major global players.”

In England, some workers were upbeat about the change, but others worried about the future.

“People seem to be generally happy about the buyout. Tata has a reputation as a business which is going places and has ambition to be a major market force,” said Lee Betteridge, a 34-year-old Jaguar toolmaker.

“I think Ford may have made a mistake as the companies are turning around and making profit, especially Land Rover,” he said.

“I am pleased I have kept my job. But for how long?” asked Paul Hoyte, 35, a Land Rover worker. “There has been a lot of cost-cutting under Ford. Will Tata cost-cut? Maybe I will lose my job in the future.”

Tata Motors built the first fully Indian-designed car. In contrast to the high prices that Jaguars and Land Rovers sell for, Tata recently announced plans to build a $2,500 car later this year. Jaguars in the U.S. have sticker prices starting around $50,000 and can cost nearly twice that amount.

Ford CEO Alan Mulally said in a statement that the British brands are leaving Ford in good shape.

“Now, it is time for Ford to concentrate on integrating the Ford brand globally, as we implement our plan to create a strong Ford Motor Company that delivers profitable growth for all.”

Tata said Ford will continue to supply engines, transmissions and other components for five to nine years. Ford also will continue to provide environmental and other technologies as well as engineering support.

Tata Chairman Ratan N. Tata said his company will try to build on the brands’ heritage, keeping their identities intact.

C. Ramakrishnan, Tata’s chief financial officer said the company had secured a 15-month, $3 billion bridge loan from a small syndicate of banks. He said Tata expects to replace that financing with a mix of equity and debt during the next several months, including “unlocking value” from some of its investments in subsidiaries.

He acknowledged Jaguar’s financial difficulties but said the brand is turning around and he expects it to be profitable within two years.

“Land Rover is a highly profitable company … and Jaguar is well on its way,” he said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday.

Ramakrishnan said the brands’ existing management will continue.

Tata Motors is part of Tata Group, India’s oldest and largest conglomerate. The family business is owned mostly by Tata-funded charitable trusts. A substantial portion of the group’s income is channeled into various philanthropies that have helped build some of the country’s finest institutions, including India’s first cancer hospital.

Among Tata’s holdings are steel makers and a consulting service that does software engineering and other work for western firms.

Roger Maddison, an official with Unite, Jaguar and Land Rover’s main labor union, said the deal is good news for the automakers’ employees as well as those who work for parts suppliers.

“Unite has secured written guarantees for all five UK plants on staffing levels, employee terms and conditions, including pensions, and sourcing agreements. The sale ensures our members futures and we look forward to working with Tata,” Maddison said in a statement.

Mulally has said the company would invest the proceeds from the sale in quality and product development at Ford.

Ford named Tata as the preferred bidder for the British automakers in January, essentially dismissing two other bids.

Cash-hungry Ford, which lost $12.6 billion in 2006 and $2.7 billion last year, has been looking to sell Jaguar and Land Rover for months.

It has mortgaged assets to continue operations and expects to burn up $12 billion to $14 billion until 2009, when it plans to return to sustained profitability.

Jaguar and Land Rover are strained by unfavorable exchange rates and high production costs in Britain.

Ford had hoped to turn Jaguar, which was founded in 1922, into a high-volume brand that could compete with BMW and Mercedes-Benz. But its entry-level X-Type sedan, introduced in 2001 to lure younger buyers, sold poorly and was slammed for its conservative styling. Jaguar’s U.S. sales were down 24 percent last year.

Land Rover, which was founded in 1948 — the year after India gained its independence from Britain — has fared better thanks to popular products such as the Range Rover Sport and LR2. Land Rover’s U.S. sales were up 4 percent last year. But unlike Jaguar, which has improved its quality rankings under Ford, Land Rover placed last in J.D. Power and Associates’ rankings of initial quality and dependability in 2007. The rankings measure problems per vehicle after 90 days and again after three years of ownership.

Ford shares edged up a penny to $6.01 in morning trading Wednesday. They have traded in a 52-week range of $4.95 to $9.70.

Land Rover showed their much anticipated three-door compact SUV concept at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. The Land Rover LRX Concept is said to be a cross coupe that will fit under the Freelander 2 / LR2.

“The LRX concept delivers the powerful message that we are as serious about sustainability as we are confident about the continuing relevance and desirability of our vehicles,” says Phil Popham, Land Rover’s managing director. “LRX is in every respect a Land Rover, but it’s a very different Land Rover.

We can definitely expect the LRX to enter production before the end of the decade offering a fuel-efficient power management system. The LRX concept embodies the power management systems and other technologies first shown by Land Rover in the Land_e concept in 2006.

While the little green angel on our right shoulder prompts us to applaud cars that get good fuel economy, the Italian-racing-red devil on the left whispers how cool it is to waste gallons of irreplaceable fossil fuels on things like supercharged Land Rovers. Truth be told, we like giving in to the red one. We just feel guilty about it the next morning. And just in case the force-fed Range Rover Sport from the factory wasn’t enough, along comes something that makes us forget all about the letters HSE.

What you see here is a circa-1950’s Defender Series I, the original Land Rover that has crossed continents countless times. But in case it didn’t get from coast to coast quite fast enough, some blessed soul has dropped in a supercharged Ford V8 kicking out around 800 horsepower. In its current state, though, we doubt it’ll be fording any rivers – unless they’ve already dried up. Check out the images for yourself in the gallery below.
