How do they get back, though?
Wow. Seemed I hit on a touchy subject there. Apologies. It was meant to be a joke, but you must concede that they don't have the greatest reputation for reliability and well, as the saying goes, no smoke without fire.
Well I like my Defender. 2001 TD5, 75,000 miles, just used for shooting/keepering, never let me down. Towed out and driven around lots of "Japs", none of which seem to hold a candle to it's mud plugging ability.
OK, so it's got "character". It leaks a bit, it's noisy, suspension is too hard, heater is crap, security is laughable, but hey, it's British (or German or American or Indian) and at least was made here.
I wouldn't want to drive anything else, as long as I didn't have to go far in it, in which case I take an Audi.

One for the pro Jap doubters...
Land Rover have spent hundreds of thousand on converting their assembly lines for ex soldiers with ability problems and as such will give the guys and girls that gave for us a chance of employment and mental and social freedom of stress and worry. To the point ex service applicants get priority of a job.
Now Hirohito huggers slag that one off?

Manufacturers sell first and foremost to people like you and me. That is where the big money is. Selling to the public sector, fleets and rental companies is where the surplus goes. The public sector has no money, they are looking for something that meets spec and costs as little as possible. There is no way that you logically relate product quality and the fact that the public sector uses the product.
