How about a TDV8/TDV6, Auto, Air suspension all round.

One word. DANGEROUS!!

[Drover]

Here's another word......unlikely !

I wouldn't get to excited, can't see them spending to much money on up rated motor/gearbox/diff's.....just say'n.

I would like to think it is but deep Inside I know its not going to happen I can feel it in me waters

Hopefully Pat new and better actually means something useable for people in the bush.
Way to many Soccer Mum , Latte Sipper cars around today.

Will the Defender replacement be the equivalent of the Hummer - H3 progression?
Or will we be buying second hand Defenders or Sob Sob 76 Series Land Cruisers Sob Sob

Damn disappointing the Defender is being replaced, but with Gerry McGovern involved, it'll be a hairdressers car aimed at the, double decaf, soy latte with a lemon twist coated in a light dusting of chia set. Long live the Real Defender!

It's the hairdressers cars thats put Land Rover in the position to be able to afford to design a new Defender,I've had a 76 and two 79's,one of the 79's had all the fix's,the turbo drain twice,the vacuum pump,the brake booster valve and it still smoked like a trooper,like hell I'd be shelling out my own money for one.

I agree Pat I would be loathed Toyotas due to my experience with them
The point I was making was will the newly designed Defender just be a masculine looking vehicle to take Tarquin to the Soccer.
With 90% of the Australian population living in the Cities or close rural areas it wont matter from a marketing perspective.

The 4 week trip that some boast about just having done with out any problems is what some do on a daily basis.
