Thread: Won’t be retro...

Hopefully we WILL see more on the 27th Dec! ...hopefully they don’t just put it back in the oven...again!!

I can definitely understand the virtues of EAS and to me it makes even more sense on an EV.

Although the simplicity of coils have never let me down, nor have I ever been hung up on a diff...which is all about taking the right the line and placement IMO. The comparison could be made with independent suspension hangers in ruts and also the relative strength of live axle CV’s compared to indepenent CV’s for long term bush use.

If the new Defender truly is heavy duty and comes in a hybrid/EV with a range of over 600km and a reasonable price tag, I would be interested. But I would be weighing all of that up against the potential to convert my classic Defender to EV in the coming few years.

Looking forward to it! It’s definitely more exciting than Santa! 🎅 and only two extra sleeps! (...unless that image was leaked and only meant to come out on the 27th).

jeez, you blokes ought to apply to be motoring journalists.

so many "ifs"

so much baloney

so much rhubarb

if you keep gesticulating , guessing and throwing ideas around you are bound to reach the ultimate conclusion....so far none of you have.

whats the story about thousands of monkeys on typewriters?

I'm just going to wait until JLR release OFFICIAL , get it , OFFICIAL photos and details of the new vehicle.

I will be 100% correct in every detail at that time.

feel free to speculate.....

but there is no current information pre release.....is there?

when I was a late teen ...vis '70's....I was totally obsessed by cars and bought every Australian publication and many international mags because I wanted to be first to know or to guess what was happening, just like all the guys here doing the same with the Defender.

now I can just wait until it happens.....
