I actually like the fact that I have rarely (if ever) met a fat Defender driver.

Just posted some front end concepts: http://defender15.blogspot.nl/. what do you guys think?

Olli

I think the standard defender grill and black spot headlights surrounds need to stay, no doubt whatever the current corporate headlight is will be used.

Not bad Olli,whatever the new one is based on,to me it still needs to have some styling cues that says defender.Just like the range rover,2nd,3rd and 4th generation still look like a range rover.I have always liked the way land rovers all look like land rovers,you don't have to go up and look at the badge to see what it is,unlike a lot of current model vehicles that look like the same people designed them.

4th gen RR has lost most of the design cues that made it great. It looks like it was put together by a blind pre schooler...

Interesting that the crusader of racism is okay with other forms of discrimination.

Are you drunk ?

Not so squeaky clean after all ..... Hey.

Get hold of a good one and look after it . They last forever with a bit of tlc . Look at my old 109 55 years old and still going strong gets driven every day . I hope my new 90 will last as long even if I'm not around in another 55 years.

I think you'll have better luck with the 109 still going in another 50 years. If you can afford the fuel & chiropractors bills.
