2016 'Defender'

...intriguing, no one has yet said they're definitively waiting for the next 'defender'. There's obviously much trepidation, as expected I guess...we live in uncertain times indeed... loving my puma by the way, there's nothing lthat comes close! no trepidation here for a few years to come...

Because some of us aren't "waiting"

When it's released I will likely be buying one...

In the mean-time will live with the D4 and MY15 90...

Nice call Tombie, best of all worlds!

I am pretty certain the 'new' Defender will be something pretty special!

JLR are a highly successful company with a long and rich heritage, backed fully with deep pockets, people and R and D. I don't believe they will let us down with a below par replacement!

Pretty exciting really... but very glad I now have an 'original'!!!

I agree. I think the new Defender will be a very capable vehicle. I'm not sure how much different it will look or how much I will like but I'm not anticipating being in the market for a long time anyway. Although I will be going to look at them when they are released to see what they're like.

I have no idea the credibility of these photos, but you may find it intresting

Personally I don't like them the 4 door look like the Toyota PJ cruiser

Louis,

I would hazard a guess at 0% credibility.

Those are clearly just scale overlays of various Land Rover models. The red one still shows the orange of the Range Rover Sport and the green one has a 90's rear cross member and what looks like a Wrangler's roll bar.

Ugly monstrosities like those will just make the actual official reveal so much more special!

Cheers,

Lou

Depending on the final look and drive I might be able to convince my wife to swap her Volvo XC60 for a new Defender. She is already on the page for the new discovery and on the weekend even said we could consider the new defender.

When a Defender becomes a Volvo! it is the end of the world. Go for the disco sportivo.
