    I don't like the sound of the air suspension or the independent suspension but the V6 2.7ltr would be good and the new 5.0ltr V8 would be awesome but I will eat my hat if land rover release the new defender with a 5ltr V8 in australia.

    This is the big IF : the G-wagen does more than say 200 sales in both petrol and diesel we will get both and i'll send you some worsticshire sauce to wash your hat down with.
    But we should get both anyway as it would anihilate the wrangler rubi, the hummer wannabe and the toyota 7?? series as long as they restrain the price to a small increase on the current model and not a 5% cheaper disco/rrsport!
    Heres a simple idea ! Make it with the 3.0 diesel and let there be LR specialist service centres in every decent sized outback town( read that as any with a toyota/ holden dealer) that hold a supply of spares with specialty parts shipped in express on a 1 day order from a dealer. This would mean serviceability in the outback without the large dealer overheads!

    Don't you just love the speculation.... The guys up at Gaydon must pee themselves laughing with some of the articles.

    The worst thing I see about all this is that the price will go up - and not just by a small amount. Reckon it will come in closer to the disco than the current defender price?

    Everyone with ears on their knee caps will appreciate the positioning of the speakers.

    Not a fan of the frontal design, the rest is O.K. - sort of.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
