Thread: Land Rover Confirms New Defender!

THIS IS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

And so ends the true blood line of a thoroughbred !

Is there nothing sacred to the sceptics ?

We should all go and form a barrier around Solihull and not let it out

Thats if the Solihull plant still exists ?

Its the last couple of lines in that report that scares the bejesus out of me..

"Lets hope Land Rover hasn't forgotten their promise to engineer every new Land Rover for export to North America"

Monocoque = evil

Ladder chassis = [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Real Land Rovers = apparently everything up to, but not including, the new Disco 3 and Defender as above (and possibly the Freelander but I'm not going there...)

I'm not sure that you an discount the Dico 3 from that list. Looks like it will be a good rig. Has a chassis and a Monocoque body bolted together it seems.

I'm interested to see how the new defender comes out. The last sketches I saw looked good. As long as it looks like a defender, and doesn't have all this carpet and leather chairs crap, i'll be happy.

A lower price wouldn't do it any harm as well, so that even those who think it is a bit of an agricultural vehicle liken it to the price of other base model 4x4's like the troopie. Tough but awsome 8)
