Jaguar Land Rover is another luxury automaker boasting record sales for 2013. The British automaker reported sales of 425,006 units for the period, an increase of 19 percent on its 2012 sales level.

The bulk of those sales were made by the Land Rover brand, but Jaguar had seen impressive growth. Land Rover sales numbered 348,338 units in 2013, up 15 percent on the previous year, while Jaguar sales came in at 76,668 units, up a staggering 42 percent on the previous year.

Sales were up for Land Rover in every major region with annual sales records set in 42 markets, including the U.S., U.K, Brazil and India. The Range Rover Evoque was the top seller but the latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport also proved popular. All three models achieved record results in 2013.

Jaguar set annual sales records in 17 markets including Brazil, India, Russia and China. It also emerged as one of the fastest growing premium brands in the U.S., Germany and India in 2013. The XF and XJ both enjoyed record sales, while the new F-Type sports car also proved popular.

“2013 has proven to be a very positive year for Jaguar Land Rover thanks to continuing strong demand for vehicles across the range,” CEO Dr. Ralf Speth said in a statement. “Our unrelenting focus on design, technology, innovation and quality has seen Jaguar Land Rover reach global consumers in more markets than ever before thanks to its most desirable product lineup, enriched further in 2013 by the Jaguar F-Type and all-new Range Rover Sport”.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
