What part?

Most of it

I really am struggling to find anything the same or similar other than the colours and the fact that like most cars there are two rows of seats?

I wouldn't call those bucket seats, shape looks similar to defender seats

Rear passenger doors keep the split windows.

Alpine windows are the right size, and headlining the right colour.

So the interior looks more like the defender than the exterior!

Looking forward to the big reveal now. Not long to go.

Imo the last of the puma defender seats border on bucket, and new defender looks to be slightly more "buckety", but could be an illusion.
I didn't realize how similar it was to the old defender until your post, here's old and new.

Yeah cheers, saw those photos, just fact checking .. respect your opinion however in context of myself and GBs convo and your call of "most parts being the same" as the FJ...specifically what are these most parts are the same as the FJ Cruisers?

Most is generally between 50-100%

The only parts I can see that are the same are black coloured seats and then there is a similar coloured roof.

"B Pilar" is of similar size but part of the rear door on FJ so cant be compared strength wise and is most likely a glorified seatbelt mount.
Rear window is around 30% of new defenders size.
Seats are together in fj, about a foot apart in defender.
Rear door is half door in fj, defender is RRC LSE legth and opens normally with split old window like old defender.
New defender has alpine windows, fj doesn't.
New defender looks to have glass rear side luggage top paneling, fj metal for the most part.
