Thread: Won’t be retro...

I'm looking forward to seeing if there are any 'retro' design cues in the new Defender, given all McGovern has ever really said is that it "won't be retro". It will have to be a damn good new piece of design to do the icon justice without it being retro!
...I assume all those fridge boxes sikaflexed on, will have to come off sometime this year!

Up to 12 variants
Autumn Launch
Interesting comment on some mules have rear mounted wheel others dont.(are they utes?)
Some new artist impressions, personally i think they will look better than that, based on the mules, even the tire profiles are wrong, but maybe can order more onroad biased version.

"with everything from ultra-utilitarian interiors to super-luxury versions, in order to broaden the Defender’s appeal and make the business case stack up."

RRCoupe Dead, Long live the defender!

Good. Defender is a much bigger potential market than a few super-rich yuppies who want a Rangie coupe.

I’m guessing the all new Land Rover (Defender) might be more expansive than we are hoping for.....hopefully not super rich bracket.

I am guessing base model will be same as base D5 plus what $10k Would make sense unless for some reason they did a base base that was a coiler then that would be better pitched just under D5 base (but I understood all Deefers will be air suspended).

Cheers

Correct,but to focus 'its resources and investment on the next generation of world class products' sounds not much more than a load of hype.

More than likely they dropped this coupe due to cost cutting.

Lets hope they haven't done any cost cutting to the new Defender project.
