    The front end looks good, minus the stupidly placed fog lights. But its the curved roof over the windscreen and shape of the back end that makes it look bad. Has a lada shaped roof.

    I think LR are trying to set a new standard for big headlights, do they look right to you.

    It's unfortunate what is going to happen to the Fender but it is not Tata's fault. It is ADR's which force all vehicles after a certain date to have dynamic stabillity control.(DSC) Probably air bags and other things as well.

    I think DSC would be easier fitted to an A model ford than a Fender.

    At least it seems to be running sensible tyres

    Are they Boost alloys? 235/85s?

    Would that suggest the suspension is carried over?

    It looks like an independent front from the angle of that photo. Either way I think it has extended Tusker's lifespan

    It looked to me like a solid front diff and the real shocker was a defender that will fit in most undercover car parks.
    The nose shape doesnt look to bad except for the googly eyes headlights but the roof needs to be squared off / flat not curved above the middle of the windscreen.

    I can't see what your all dribbling on about, just looks like a Defender with a bit of a style up, rounded corners and updated lights, looks alright too me.

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