I think this could be close to the mark. Seriously, because I've never seen a manufacturer use such a heavily camouflaged mule before, then slap their own logo on the side. I've seen plenty of mules from manufacturers up close, as my job is new vehicle transport. We move for Landrover, BMW, Mercedes, Holden, and many more.......when the mules come into our yards, they arrive in enclosed trailers, then they go straight under cover......they are then moved back out in enclosed trailers...none of the mules I've seen have had any badging or logos on at all.

Personally i reckon it's either Landrover playing games....or another manufacturer taking advantage of all the speculation.

So far I'm still interested, however after owning my y62 and having a big fat "0" faults or issues in 22,500kms it will have to be good to get me back! Ah good old peace of mind..no replacment!

Looks small, independent suspension (bound to be air; not a fan of air prefer hydraulic), clearance looks ok, tyres we'll see what it comes out with, engine choice and drivetrain strength.

If those boxes are ticked I might come back if not.....probably bother as I'm probably saving myself a headache

They may have to if the new Defender is essentially a Disco4. ...but what will Defender buyers buy?

Umm,70 series

Like they do all over the world,where they need a dedicated, reliable, off road vehicle.

Or if they have the cash,a G wagon.

or a second hand Deefer,or perentie.

Unimog,iveco,Fuso,the list goes on

See,there's heaps to choose from

**ozscott** · 26th October 2018, 06:41 AM

Or one of these (I would prefer to build one up myself but in terms of off the shelf).

Discovery Series 2 1999 - 2004 Extreme

Cheers

Oh Scarry 😁 We can choose any of those vehicles now. ...But we don’t. (Except the second hand Defender / Perentie option).
