That carbuzz article came out of no where. I am so scarred by disinformation and AI bots that I'm skeptical of even more than a typical curmudgeon should be.

Granted, but the perception of reliability of LR products is pretty much as bad as it gets, whether actually true or not.
At least with Ford I can buy a 7 year 150k mile warranty for 3 grand or so.
LR would go bankrupt with that. lol

LJR Q3 financials published on their site match the carbuzz article: https://www.jaguarlandrover.com/investor-relations

I enjoyed listening to The Intercooler podcast where they discussed JLR's demise. Their suggestion was to sell off Jaguar and focus instead of the real money spinner LR products. Jaguar has been a leech on the LR profits for quite some time.

It sounds like separating the platforms, is edging in that direction..
