All discussions relating to the Defenders end of production

I am test driving a Puma hopefully later this week (if they arrive). My current cars are over 30 years old and I am 43. In 35 years time I will be closing on 80 so I am not worried if the new defender is good or not :D

I'm not so sure about that one YOLO - will the new Defender drivers just be Nissan and Toymota migrants who've jumped ship??? True LR devotees could be swallowed up by the hysteria of the newly converted masses. I know JLR have to do something to keep the utilitarian Defender style model viable or see it die but I kinda like having something different to the run of the mill motors out there and I like it when those tossers are amazed the 'old girl' is still going and goes further than them - if they could just fix the leaks - both water and oil !
just my two bobs worth :D

Interesting thought. That's assuming Wayne and Shazza are not already here...

I would say if Land Rover don't aim for the Jeep, Toyota, Nissan, Ford etc driver, then theres no point at all in making a new Defender, hardly going to keep the factory open selling to enthusiasts.
