I want one

I like the dash and almost everything else about it, but as everyone else has said, the engine is a major dissapointment. The fuel tank too, still just 75 litres, com'on Landrover, we don't all live in Europe with a service station on every street corner.

Can anyone hazard a guess at how much better that 2.4/6 speed combo will be compared to my 2.5Tdi in general drivablility? I know you are underwhelmed with the engine and you have put me off too but it probably is a step forward on the Tdi, surely?

Still dark about the vent flaps.

Maybe LR are trying to find a engine that is a little more built proof that the TD5. Power to power the TD5 and this new thing would be about the same in a defender, would it not?

Ok, so the power isn't that much more, torque is a little up isn't it? I wouldn't be knowcking one back just for that, and the 6 speed should be good, especially if the top gear is 20% taller than the old 5th gear.

Interested to see what the economy figure will be though.

Ho Hum - suppose new car sales of Defender in Australia might go from 10 a month to 11 a month - I think we are flogging a dead horse.

Sorry Guys and Gals

In 2007 it has gotta be better than this.
