    ...or this

    Maybe this is why the next Defender is taking so long to be revealed? ....Bollinger B1: Bollinger Motors B1 revealed | 4X4 Australia

    I like it, a bit like a Santana Landy. Not sure about the grill or lack there of, some mesh of some kind would add to the aesthetics .

    No doubt, but it's close to the ugliest thing I've ever had the misfortune to lay my eyes on. What is seen cannot be unseen unfortunately.

    And I personally don't think it looks anything like a Land Rover - the only similarities IMO are that it has 4 wheels and exposed door hinges. It should be put out of its misery...

    It looks like a defender, and a bronco had to use Doctor Lego IVF to have a baby!

    Or a life size version of a lego d90 that was trying to get approval.

    Seriously, its a mall crawler, as to most people a utility, hose out interior, with a 1ton payload, 4x4 ,is a long trip expedition vehicle, and with a max range of 320km this is not........

    Yes, range is still the biggest obstacle to the electric vehicle, particularly here in Australia. While a daily driver that does 30 or 40KM each way each day is fine, I'm not sure how you can make an electric 4x4 work as you generally need to drive a fair way to start and 4 wheeling, then if you're going out for the weekend, then what?

    Sort of a self defeating idea IMO.

    Yes range is an issue, with Elon Musk's plans for an electric truck requiring a 22 ton battery for a range of 900 miles. But solar electric cars are coming...
