Well, I don't care what anyone says - I'm glad I've got a sorted, solid, Puma Defender - the last of the best.

I love that red prototype, does anyone else have any info on it?
LandRover would do well to produce a product in India to compete with the Suzuki Sierra/ daihatsu terrios end of the market
a modern day series 1/2
I refer you to the first part of my initial comment... :D :pQuote:

I also would like a vehicle that has serious styling queues from my beloved Defender; that's just for my own personal taste.
So, therefore I have no problem with the concept of an agricultural(ish) vehicle with a Defender badge based on a D3 drivetrain with a 2.7/3.0 twin turbo engine and an automatic transmission.
I'm not denying that a stuff up is a real possibility, but roll on tomorrow, I say. I'm excited.
