it's from this article:
Land Rover Defender to be reinvented for 2019 | Autocar
the reason I wrote boring , boring is because I'm really sick of seeing these impressions by" so and so", a respected auto journalist , who really know nothing .....nothing.....no more than me....about the new Defender.Quote:

No one...no one has any idea what the new Defender will look like.....just wild guesses from magazine journos.
When Land Rover are ready to release information we will all know at the same time. No one will have scoops or special priviledges.
wait...stop trying to pre-empt Land Rover.
I stand by my previous comment, there has been a fair bit written about what the new defender will and wont, what it will have and wont have, what it will look like and wont, all on the record from LR..Autocar are very, very well connected imo..they have visited the slovakia plant and are no doubt in constant contact with LR and thier sources, if anyone is going to get guess the looks it will be them, i think they did pretty well with the Disco SVX from memory.Quote:

I have seen nothing officially from Land Rover, neither have you , nor anyone else.
That's not quite how it works. I'm speaking from the point of view of a former car journalist who now works with car firms (including JLR) on the PR and marketing side of things. No, they don't want to get scooped and they don't want to spoil any big reveal but they do want to maintain interest/build the hype. The Autocar article may be pure speculation but in all likelihood was based on a limited release of information to a journalist with whom JLR has a good relationship or who came by information another way (e.g. spy shots etc) and who has agreed not to publish in return for a bit of inside info. (This second scenario is less likely but happened twice to me).Quote:

Official statements have been discussed many on here and there are plenty to be found on Google. Execs have been drip feeding info for ages, brilliant marketingQuote:
