Thread: Disappointed in the D5 / waiting for the Defender

Yes, years of hearsay and speculation... That's why I ask where did you 'hear' it :-)

It was originally going to be built on the Discovery T5 platform and released 2016-17.LR canned it and re-wrote the specs from indie to live axle.So far no more info. Pat

Very wise choice for them Pat. Cheers

Again not about capability alone, you actually have to like the look of your car as well. I don't want to vomit every time I walk to the driveway.
A bit like the AU Falcon while it performed OK was the ugliest Falcon ever built and looked like a pregnant Hippo.

I would like to see someone prove everyone wrong, i would, but its out of my price range to do so
I remember when the d3 came out, and everyone canned that too, bloody independent suspension, it will be useless! Well it seems its not
