Mike Rutherford talks over the World Car of the Year hopefuls, which incorporates his hot favourite…the Range Rover Velar
Terrible news and uplifting news. After Jaguar deservedly secured its inaugural World Car of the Year win prior this year with the F-Pace, the marque is probably not going to be in a position to shield its title in 2018.
