Supposedly JLG is contemplating setting up a manufacturing facility in the US. No mention has been made which model(s) could be built here...

This is great news, do you think this could be for production of the XE or could it be for their future SUV? or both?

I don't think that it will be for production of the XE since that is coming up so soon that it just doesn't make sense. The SUV could be quite possible though.

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at. We know XE production will begin at Solihull for global distribution, which is hugely inefficient I might add. The OP was about adding capacity not relocating capacity...

And the Disco will be in stores before the XE, so using your logic it makes even less sense!

Do you know when the new discovery will be in stores?
that's one vehicle i have been looking forward to seeing in person ever since hearing about it.

Wasn't aware that the Disco was coming out first. Isn't that factory built to make SUVs though. Is it easily capable of switching to sedan production?
