I agree with cars like the G class mercedes continuing its historical, original shape, because it is and always was gorgeous. But the Defender?? Why maintain that horrible and ugly old shape?? This is the way to go!
I struggle to see how its going to replace the defender we all know and love. It seems almost criminal to stop making it but i must admit ........I WANT ONE!!!!!
however the Silver road version has massive wheels, putting a full size spare on the back of a small car like that looks absurd, and would block visibility far too much -- a common issue with the current LandRovers is terrific fwd vision but dreadful rear vision, more so if you have a full complement of passengers/cargo. full-time reverse view cameras with a split mirror display should be standard on them all for basic safety.
IMO they look stunning -- I'd buy it, esp. the Yella beach buggy, this would be a real winner if it was priced and featured keenly enough. it would be terrific to see an on-road/off-road test against Toyota's FJ Cruiser, the market it is clearly aimed at.
Take this vehicle to Africa, far away from trained mechanics and super clean fuels, and then we will see if this a true replacement for the Defender. Toyota will again reign supreme. Move the Defender production line to India; continue with its construction there for use in the third world; and keep this monstrosity for the yuppy crowd in Europe and North America.
If you forget its a land rover it seems quite cool. but then you remember the beastly ness of the defender and you think it seems shit. i think its not bad at all.
the people who desiged these wot they call the new generation of land rovers should be a shamed of them self and wot they have created (SHAME ON YOU) !!!!!!
looks like the real off road drivers are gonna go back the one that started it all. Jeep! Just like I have. I have supported Land Rover for years but this is not acceptable. The New wrangler is up to date but still has live axles and seperate chassis. Stick your shitty independant suspension up your arse land rover! Im ashamed of you.
What is going through those Hindus heads? are they insane? they should instead have imrpoved the Defender making it more comfortable and capable for the wussy customers who cant stand a real strong car. They completely exterminated the Land Rover image, its gone. that is an ugly piece of crap full of plastic. when my 130 comes to an end of life, i will restore it over and over again, since I will never fall into the hands of toyota and neither will buy that pile of crap!
Land Rover has to do this. JLR only make 20k Defenders each year in comparison Land Crusier FJ sells over 150k. It's do or die. The new one should have spring suspension with electromagnetic dampening, with hydraulic elevation. Terrain Response should be for the more expensive D4, RR to keep costs down. This car should be repairable in deepest darkest Tibet by a local garage without a laptop. I quite like the styling but it should be a bit more subtle. Jags new 2.2 or the new CX16 V6 will be GR8

As owners of Land Rovers, (and mainly Defenders), for more years than we will own up to, we have to agree with some of the other comments.
1) This is NOT a Defender
2) What are farmers going to use?
3) Would you take this car serious off roading?
And finally.............
4) What a heap of shit!
R.I.P Defender (but not ours!)
