    Have any of you noticed that Land Rover have said nothing on this issue. The words of doom are spoken by motoring journalists who say they have "impeccable" sources of information but cannot name them. Land Rover said earlier that they were going to remain totally tight lipped on the Defender's future and they have. That's why we are hearing stories like in this thread.

    Yes but that is the IFS version, not the G-wagen professional which has solid axles F+R and is not (yet) sold in AU.

    The G-Professional sells for ~E80k.

    It would be fun to buy one in Germany and drive it back...

    An Evoque gets sold somewhere in the world every 5 minutes (Quote from LR).
    Do they need the Defender?

    $170K??....for a "decent" version...with some decent AMG power....much more than that I think?...$250K...maybe.....for a V8,....but what we really want is what the Arabs get....and what the Yanks can't get....nor can we....V12 Power....and SIX WHEEL DRIVE....even in the sand dunes....completely unstoppable!
    Cheers, Pickles.

    Yes, maybe that's what the company reckon. But I reckon if you already have the product, then you may as well make some money from it. The enduring mystery is why they haven't bothered over here for something like two or three decades.
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    Even BMW had some idea of what a Land Rover meant.
    The 1998 50th anniversary celebration.
    From my article in LRO...........

    The words of Dr. Hasselkuss, in his speech at Gaydon, are addressed as much to you who are reading this, as they were to the crowds gathered there:
    “If it wasn’t for you, the enthusiasts, Land Rover wouldn’t be what it is today. I thank you all.”

    Sage advice Pat....



    Some people just cant move on...

    Yet they probably all have a nice shiny Plasma or LED on the wall...

    What ever happened to the good old 34cm B&W Furniture style TV???
    They've all lost focus on what a TV really was

    Oh, don't start that again. I don't care if the Defender survives, it just happens to be a very good design that isn't promoted. Are you guys still writing with pens and drinking out of mugs? Some functional designs reach a point where they can't be improved on that much.
