Sometimes I love him, other times, not so much. While I may not agree with all of his aesthetics, I have to admit that Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern has, at the very least, introduced some compelling designs and has helped, along with other JLR top brass, to steer Land Rover perhaps its greatest level of success and growth, potentially in the history of the company. That said, would they be so successful now if they weren't backed up by 60 years as the reigning king of the 4x4 dirt pile? Perhaps not, and I think he recognizes that. For all that he has done until now, I know I'm not the only one out there who would agree that he's managed to keep the spirit of Land Rover alive even if the finished vehicle has a different look from its predecessors.
