The Brexit may have given the Defender project a kick along if it's to be build in Slovakia. Ironically it maybe economically to buy in Europe but out of reach for many Brits.

I don't know, you may be right, but here is a much more recent article, penned by Georg Kacher, a very well respected motoring scribe.

Deep Dive: All-New 2019 Land Rover Defender: An Icon, Reinvented

[COLOR="Navy"]that particular article is nearly 18mths old and all of those scenarios have been played here in Aulro so many times now.

Even JLR have scrapped those vehicle ideas like that.

When the time is right we will ALL hear what is in the wings.

Until then everything that any well known motoring journalist writes is simply a story to get a circulation boost in their magazine/newspaper.

JLR have released NOTHING for any journalist in the world to base a news item upon.

Pure fantasy. Ugly too.

Quite ugly. Looks like a Chinese copy...

I think the overall proportions are ok tho. Just needs to incorporate circular lights and a different nose..

It's a decoy! (I hope)

Its fantasy, nobody outside of landrover knows what it is going to look like yet

Totally agree - I reckon if anyone dared spill the beans, there'd be a huge bounty on their head.

I like it.
