Me too. The roofless one is getting me all hot and bothered.
Supposedly this is going to be on the new Disco suspension, right?

Same platform and suspension is what is being whispered about.

Check out the file names for some of the pics:

Personally I love it. It achieves everything RMP and I were discussing in the other thread. It has a modern slant to it, but keeps the practical square shape. I personally like the ute back ones, the single cab is good, but being a family man now i might have to settle for the twin cab, a cab chassis would be good too. If this is anything to go by then i think we have little to worry about. And yes the new defender will be on the Disco3 chassis, the disco3 chassis was developed with this in mind. Well thats what the articles i have read so far have said. Matt

yep me like this... much better than the pics on the other thread [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Looks good. Nice, flat shapes, good clearance. I'll take one.

Tiny point; the rear window on the wagon isn't a split. I like split rear windows. Nissan, Toyota and Mitsu lost the split in the move to the GU, 100 Series and NM respectively. The Defender has it and I use it reasonably frequently.
