Maybe they can see someone as Isuzu and get the motor and gearbox from the current 300 to fit or better yet the 550 or at least make it an option for the HCPU versions. Most mine sites require at least drivers airbags to all vehicles done right they can probably make some serious inroads but they will have to have, a proper cyclonic airfilter/donaldson style or similar and a really big water trap. the landcruisers are trading on name at the moment and they are about 25k more than a defender. So say if they got into the market for 10-15k less than a cruiser with a much better vehicle they'd be on a winner.
Although the one dealer here and there trying to make landrover exclusive thing would have to go even if they had defender only dealers, maybe attached to Isuzu dealers.
