Thread: is this the new DEFENDER?

Hi Barney
Looks pretty US style,I guess making it look all new and modern may help prolong the life of the Defender rather than droping it due to poor sales.

the more i look at it, the more it grows on me. especially that 6x6

looks slighty like the hummers

Barney,
I'm impressed, they still resemble Defenders, even if roof looks a little low, got to be better than a Hummer!

Fat chance of seeing a Defender on the market like these though!

Although it is a photochop, it looks great.

Unfortunately it looks rather like the Ford Bronco that was unveiled recently. Perhaps a LR enthusiast decided to have some photo editing fun??

Still looks great though 8)

Looks like a good change [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

There's a very high possibility that the new Ford Bronco and LR Defender will share the same platform. I had seen pics like this (at least the wagon ones) for the Bronco.

I prefer the shorter wheelbase ones above, the longer wheelbase ones look like they'd have the ramp-over angle of a crewman cross-8. (ie. bloody useless !)

i have had an email from a mate of mine in the "loop" and he's pretty sure they are of the new bronco, he's seen the clay moulds for the 06/07 defender and they're a bit different to these. obviously, for corporate secrecy reasons he can't divulge any further info yet.
