Maybe they'll lend me one of those Luvvely Velars. Cindy has one an it's just divine". " Certainly, dearest. What colour would you like?". "Oh, dahling, something to go with that frock you said you liked". And so on... LR must be loving it, and we think that there will be a new Defender? The badge, yes. The Icon, no. Hope I'm wrong.

I think you’re onto something there...

Yes I mean LR has lost the plot for our use. I highly doubt the new Defender will be more than a Pretender. I certainly won’t be getting rid of our farm Defender 130 any time soon.

You said you never intended to get a new vehicle so why does this matter?

Did I? When was that? You may be correct, but I'm not sure that is my position. Thing change. Right now, this minute, I cannot afford a new car. Sell this pile, things change.

Question about mass...

So would you be happier if the housewives of Melbourne ran around in XC90s instead?

More Mass usually equates to more fuel usage which usually equates to more pollution, So yes it does "Matter" .

Perhaps we are at crossed purposes? It does happen from time to time.

Wrong! Just plain outright wrong!

D4 uses less fuel than a Commodore, heck it uses less fuel than most family sedans.

And when a 6.2 V8 passes emissions testing I think this point becomes rather moot.

Heck, our ADTs (55t loaded) only burn 15l per hour.
