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

    Wouldn't that be an Isuzu County?
    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

    Me too Dan I very happy that I bought mine when I did, The last true 4WD in the world and the end of era, just think what ever they do to the new defender the only thing that will remain will be the badge, not its history. If land rover try and enter the american market and aim to sell 50,000+ units world wide there goes all the various platforms they make and will probably only make 110s and maybe 90s to increase sales and help stem build complexity of the new platform.I am going to put myself out there and say I bet they make across between a Disco 3 and a Hummer, It will look cool if you want a urban pimp machine, Probably still very capable for the occasional weekend rock hopping, not the agricultural live for ever towing machine that we have known for the last 61 years.

    Well, I have to say with some gruntier tyres, a D3 will service all my off-road, and outback camping needs absolutely brilliantly. What I want that a D3 doesn't give me is a simple "sweep and hose out" interior, ability to put another tank in without also needing to invest in a rear wheel carrier, and a delete option on some superfluous seats. 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.
